Her funeral was today, and it went pretty well. She was beautiful to me, but certain factors had caused her to deteriorate just a bit. I fixed her bracelets and necklace, and gave her her tiny crucifix to hold between her hands. She had her engagement and wedding band on, the ones I had never had a chance to formally give her but that she had helped pick out.
I had two giant pictures of her made up, so that was what people really focused on. Really good pictures. I had created a slideshow with some music that she liked (and in fact had suggested I should play at her funeral -- we had sadly talked about this before since we both have health issues) and we ended with another song that she loved. I spoke and it went over pretty well. The pastor was pretty good and I'm thankful for his help and the use of the church.
Anyway, I guess I feel a little bit better. I still cry and I bet that won't change soon. And I still talk to her like she's right next to me. ("Please don't make me watch Golden Girls, honey", after seeing it while hunting around for something to watch.) But that was a nice service and a fair number of people came to say their farewells.
Thanks again. One last note: holy shit it's hard to keep a wedding band on your finger! I have a little washer in front now because I'm terrified of losing this thing. I seem to have a trick vanishing knuckle. I'll get it resized or something. Yeesh. |
