Today, as you may have heard from T&E, we attended the funeral of his uncle. Despite having not had the chance to meet Unlcle G, I found the funeral moving because it was a time of grief for those close to me. Being there and experiencing the emotions related to thier loss was a source of sadness to me also. By no means as intense as theirs, naturally, but the kind of grief you feel when those you love are suffering.
In a odd way, however, there were postitive elements to today. I met with members of the extended family and enjoyed getting to know them, despite the circumstances. It was also a privilege to be welcome at such an intimate event as a funeral, present at such a vulnerable point in peoples' lives.
I wish all those near and dear to me every strength and blessing as they seek to come to terms with their loss.
With Love.
