Mum's funeral

Late yesterday afternoon we said farewell to mum.

Despite the circumstances of arranging it, it went really well, there was 8 of us there for her, 3 children, 2 nephews, 2 nieces in law and a family friend.

My dad who we lost in 2004 played a part as the Reflective Music was Over The Rainbow sung by Judy Garland who dad liked.

The 8 of us were able to chat both before and after the service, keeping our distance of course, but brother sister and myself were pleased with how it went.

Are we going to restart our 'what's anyone done today' thread next week, I'm happy to do it if you want me to

Hi Jennymary, Once again, sincere condolences on the loss of your dear mum. I'm so glad your final farewell to her went off well despite all of the restrictions that are in place and that you were all pleased.

I think it's up to you whether you'd like to continue with your daily ' what's anyone done today'. We love hearing from you and if it's enjoyable for you too, then please do continue. but if it's becoming a bit of an effort then of course we'll understand and you can post as and when you feel like it.

I hope that you are feeling a sense of peace as well as loss, now that your mum's funeral is over. Take care and continue to stay safe and well. 🙏

That was a great choice of music and I'm so glad it went well for you and your family. It was nice you included the memory of your dad. I think we will all look forward to your thread next week, Jennymary. Have a very pleasant day. 🌷🌼🌸

I bet it's a relief to you that the funerals over and done with.

I liked the what's anyone done today posts and if you just want to do them now and again then that's fine with me.

I would like to add my condolences for your sad loss.

I expect you will have mixed feelings now after the funeral has taken place.

It will take time for you to process the grieving and your days going forward after your final goodbye to your mum.

My own father in laws cremation was late Friday afternoon too and this morning we are feeling a little lost.

The last couple of weeks have been busy with the necessary things we have to do when we lose someone and now there is a kind of lull.

Since you feel good about how it went you will be able to move forward and enjoy the memories of your mum which will be in your heart forever.

I just want you to know that I am so glad your mum's funeral went so well.

You are obviously sad but comfortable enough to feel you want to continue with something you started before. Why not continue to do it, as it will also be a way of helping you over a difficult period of your life.

Look after yourself. Xxx

What a lovely send off for your mum and I'm so glad you were there to support each other, that does mean a lot.

How lovely to have a bit of your dad thereby playing his favourite music. They are now together forever.

More than happy for you to continue tour 'what's everyone done today's thread as long as your happy and ready.

Take care and stay safe.

Alicia 😊🌈

Hi JennyMary

I’m so sorry and my deepest condolences. It sounds like a lovely farewell although I can imagine one of the hardest days of your life and that of your family. Over The Rainbow is one of my favourite songs and I’m sure your mum and dad are smiling down on you as that played. Take care JennyMary love. Hope to see more of your posts soon. 🌺🌈🙏🏽
