My lovely mum's funeral is tomorrow at 11:30. As she was 85, I knew the day was getting closer. I just never expected it to be so soon. I'm hoping I can keep it together but I suspect I may not.
It's been a surreal couple of weeks - the colours of the landscape and flowers have seemed bleached out, and life has been at a standstill. Strange days indeed.
Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.

Don't envy you tomorrow, but you *will* get through it.
Think if it as the right thing to do for her, not a bad thing that you have to do if that makes any sense.
Doing it for her takes the pressure off you putting yourself through it because it's a focused task.
Also keeping yourself together for the day is part of that.
I learned from losing my Father young that just because they're not breathing our air, doesn't mean the colour they brought to our life fades, we just get so caught up in loss we can't see them anymore for this shroud of grief.
When you lift the veil of sadness, you will see how bright their colours still are and all they will ever need to shine like that is for you to look at them. You will see them everywhere in life and in your mind when you start to look for them.
The body dies, the soul does not.
The soul lives in the rest of us.
It's the Human Spirit.
