mom's funeral

[tripleblessed]

It's strange I hadn't been sad about it. Mom has been in pain a long time

Prayers and support for you and yours. I was in a very similar position when my mother went. She hadn't recognized my older sister for a fairly long while, and me
only for fleeting moments each visit. I was happy for her to be out of struggle. Then in the middle of her service, I became exceedingly aware of how glad I was I wasn't
attempting to sing for her, as I feel sure I wouldn't have made it. Twenty years later, my voice will occasionally fail during Merle Haggard's "Mama's Hungry Eyes",
overly aware of the vast chasm between what we had and what she wanted to provide for the two of us. Congratulations on being able to pull it off.

My deepest condolences! And also a nod, to her finding her way home to Your Dad.

I lost my Mum, when She was age 44. This due to braincancer. Her battle lasted a couple o'years. Set her to rest, on Her 45'th birthday.
Someone said time would heal the pain. Was she wrong!
Every service is a replay, at least when it come to feelings, And there has been all to many...

It must be something with the mood...

Mom was 90 so it was a good long run. I can't imagine not having her up to my 65 year. Time allows a person to learn to handle pain but not remove it. I was watching TV the other day and they played Taps on a show and it started me. That will never go away until I rejoin her and Dad and that is a good thing.

I do love that song (actually almost anything Merle Haggard sings) When my father passed he requested Danny Boy, which really gave me problems that day but even today it can get to me when I sing it. that's the beauty and problem with music. It cuts through the intellect and touches the soul and there is no way to truly prepare for that.

My mom past away July 12th and we traveled to her funeral in Rexburg Id. It was a a wonderful ceremony (with one the exception). She had asked me to sing Going Home. I had a lot of trouble getting through it but did and felt it helped those who were sad. It's strange I hadn't been sad about it. Mom has been in pain a long time and really has been missing dad who died 10 years ago so I was happy for her but seeing all my relatives and I guess the ceremony really hit me. It is a joyful song but I had to stop at one point to compose myself because I couldn't keep singing.

Requiescat in pace.

Prayers for her soul and the consolation of the grieving loved ones.
