I had always said to care home that i would do last offices for mum..months ago..and when time came i was honoured and privileged to do it..my 2 nieces help.she looked beautiful new nighie scarf and rosemary beards around her...i felt that was what i needed to do..then eldest brotheropened bottle bubbly and all 7 off us plus 20 maybe more grandchildren all sang patsy cline..it was beautiful...all home staff was in tears!!.xxx

Ah that's lovely @Baby Bunty

That sounds very comforting @Baby Bunty. When my husband died I agreed to speak at the church. I typed up my speech and had a copy ready for the minister. The plan was that if I couldn't do it on the day he would read it for me. I actually made it on the day. Strength came from somewhere.

Wishing you well.

@Baby Bunty. Your day sounds lovely. I’m planning speak at my Dad’s funeral too. I think it will be therapeutic talking about his life and all that he achieved. He self built 2 houses for example.
It’s so strange I can’t believe he’s gone.

@Baby Bunty, thank you for the update.

I don't think it matters if it makes "sense." Just do what you need to do, and what feels right.

 

[Baby Bunty]

Thanks for reply..its hard making sense off it all..verse was in local paper tonight..i wrote it as i am good with words off all family..however when i read in paper i literally sobbed..!..feel lonely and miss my mum!!
