Funeral

[ElizabethJane]

It is my Dads funeral and burial on Thursday. My sister and I will go to see Dads body tomorrow. I think that it will be distressing but I know he is not 'there' anymore. My sister definitely wants to go. The service has been planned and my son will read a lesson. I did think that one of Dads sisters might misbehave but as the days/weeks go by this seems less and less likely. I will find Thursday extremely tiring as we will travel for about twenty minutes to the other Church for the burial. I have prepared my son for this as there are few burials these days mostly cremations. I feel more able to cope although I might not be able to stop the tears or anxiety. If it all gets too much then I will carry some valium with me. I'm not one for taking valium. I will find the 'sentences' particularily hard as they are very farmiliar to me. They will make me feel sad as they are so final although there is a message of hope and resurrection. I have thought a lot about death in the past few weeks but these are not morbid thoughts. I need to get my own house in order and make a will. I will see Dr J my psychiatrist on Friday. Thank you all for supporting me. EJ.

Thank you all so much. I'm home now and the love and warmth I felt from family and friends helped a lot. The service went well and was not too long. The burial was very peaceful as the churchyard is in the country and beside a large field. I remembered being there as a child. It went much better than I could have expected and the sun shone. EJ
