As most of you know, my mother died on 24th Feb. It is her funeral on monday. We have tried hard to makeit a pretty one, for want of a better word. She has a wicker coffin with a garland of leaves and little white flowers round it. I am really dreading it. I don't want to fall apart infront of everyone. Please say a prayer for her on monday morning.
 
Oh bless you, i will keep you and your mother in my thoughts on monday, hugs x
 
You will all be in my thoughts too.

We will be thinking of you & praying for you all. Your mom's coffin sounds wonderful - a really lovely way to do things. Hoping all goes really well. Xxx
 
Pretty is a nice word to use for such a sad occasion. It sounds very dignified.

Will be thinking of you.

Don't worry about breaking down at the service - it's called loving someone so much. Hope you are aware of our thoughts and prayers surrounding you.
 
Thoughts and prayers are with you. I know exactly how you feel, everyone will understand. I wasn't able to stay for the full length of the service but everyone understood it was because I loved my mum so much.
 
Thank you, all, so much for your kind words. I am so lucky to have you all helping me through this hard time.
 
my thoughts an prayers are with you at this very sad time.
 
Don't worry about your emotions on Monday, it is natural to be upset. Most people will be kind and leave you be. Tears at a funeral are natural so don't even try and figure out what other people are thinking. The day is about you saying goodbye to your mom in your own way. A very personal thing and nobody can say how you should be behaving.

Know there are people on here wishing you well and supporting you/carrying you through. Difficult days but the tears will subside. Grief is important so don't try and keep it in.

Hoping and praying that you have a deep feeling of peace at having said goodbye lovingly to your mother today. Holding you in my thoughts.
 
It is normal to show emotions at a funeral, so don't worry about it. I hope the morning has gone as smoothly as it can for you. It is a sad time, but we are all here for when you need a shoulder to cry on or a listening ear.
 
All the best for today Carolyn, I have sent you an email with my message on, just remember to take each step of the day as best you possibly can and no-one will judge you, and if they do, then they certainly are NOT worth knowing!!!!

Love and hugs to you and your family.

Suze
 
Thinking of you today (((((((((((hugs))))))))
