Three funerals in three months.
So we went to another funeral a couple of days ago and met all of the same people at the same location. "Next time we meet should be for a happier occasion." or "Hopefully this will be the last one for a while." was a fairly common comment with the people we were talking with.
To be honest, a couple of these funerals were a long time coming: Grandmothers who were more than a century old, and both having suffered sudden declining health in the past several months. Still, it is very tough on my cousins who were related to and close to all three.
Having a big strong family helps share the burden, but these events still remind us of our inherent demise, our finite existence, and the need to live out life to the best that we can, and enjoy very moment of it..
..and hopefully those you leave behind will be able to celebrate the life that you once had.
