    I recently attended my cousins funeral - I have never experienced a death until now - it literally feels like a chunk of my heart is gone.

    We'll miss you...xoxoxo

    my first funeral was when i was 14 and it was for someone really close to me. I was so scared to go cause I didnt know what it was going to be like.

    Funerals are not nice things. The first two that I attended were sad and depressing, the kind that where you didn't know what to do with yourself, there was sadness all around, people crying, bitter, angry, and you always leave feeling emptier than when you arrived.
    But I went to one funeral that, as well as being a mourning of the man's death, was a celebration of his life. People stepped forward and just said a few words about him, shared memories. His daughter played a violin tune for him, the first song that he had taught her, and talked about how he had told them to practice... or how he had loved mushrooms, just small things.

    Funerals are hard. I hated my brothers viewing more then anything because I knew that when we came back the next day, and all said our final goodbyes....the casket would close and I would never see my brother ever again.

    Funerals suck. But the way I got passed everything was just by telling myself that what I was looking at was just a shell of the person I loved. It was just a face to the spirit that will forever be in my heart and the angel that will always be watching me. I miss seeing his face but the last time I saw him....I knew that he was not in any pain and for the first time in a long time he would sleep comfortably.

    In my 14 years of life i have attended 4 funerals they really are devastating and i can't handle going to them coz i am completely messed up for the next ages. a friend of mine died almost 2 weeks ago and i did not go to his funeral or viewing because when i grieve for lost loved ones i do it alone thinking about them, not with other people. For some people a funeral is where they grieve some people find it incredibly important in the grieving process to attend funerals but for some people they do not find it so important. What i'm trying to say is that people grieve in different ways and there's no real way to grieve and some people can't go to funerals and others can. Also funerals suck really bad.
    I am sorry for your loss, you can Pm me if you need to talk.
