Each of us is different in our grieving. I am a loner in my grief, not because of but to grieve alone with my God at my side. Others will want more company with them.
Hospice provides some great bereavement counselors.
The funeral serves a real purpose, that of the finality of loss and the beginning of healing. I found it comforting to hear the words of comfort from the pastor. I took an active part in her funeral service, but I do not think that is something for everybody should try to do. At last, everybody leaves. Alone for the first time, I was thankful for the time of rest the peace and quiet.
