What I didn't mention in earlier posts was that it was my turn to lead worship today, two days after Esther died. I had prepared the service in the knowledge that this might be the situation, so I didn't have to change much. And our elder who was going to lead us in a 'group lectio divina' exercise instead of a sermon, dropped that and instead he led a time of sharing memories of her. I did burst into tears at one point while leading prayers, but it was all right - I wasn't the only one sniffling. So good to be in a church where it's OK to do that.
