When a friend's dad passed away suddenly, it was requested that people wear bright colors (yellow preferably) to the wedding. Her Dad would have wanted a cheerful day, so it had to be.Jenskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05368202166540468533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620546355443994788.post-14615442117369983022011-01-11T18:49:06.586-05:002011-01-11T18:49:06.586-05:00I'm so sorry for your friend and the loss of h...I'm so sorry for your friend and the loss of her mother. Her whole family will be in my prayers. <br /><br />Grief is never easy, not even when you're "expecting" it, as in the case of terminally ill patients. Please give her my condolences.DarcsFalconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01757804686134389853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620546355443994788.post-71981425028047496032011-01-11T16:51:44.465-05:002011-01-11T16:51:44.465-05:00I am sorry for your friends loss.

I'm just glad that she's breaking down now, rather than packing all those feelings inside where they would eat away at her.<br /><br />G: I have been to two interments. One was on a freezing, grey, muddy, late November day, and it was horribly depressing. The other was on a sunny spring day. I was closer to the person who died in the spring, but that funeral was much easier to bear because of the warmth and sun.Sparkling Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12799366562472325812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620546355443994788.post-50495290666317594782011-01-09T21:28:39.124-05:002011-01-09T21:28:39.124-05:00I never had a chance to say goodbye to my dad when...I never had a chance to say goodbye to my dad when he passed away in 2004....but both the day of the wake, of the funeral and even when we buried his ashes, it was a gorgeously sunny day (especially in November when we buried his ashes).G.

I admire those that can keep it together in times of grief.<br /><br />No matter how well they seem to be taking it, you know they have to be hurting inside. May God comfort your friend and her family during this difficult time.Ileanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11200869126695231050noreply@blogger.com
