After the Funeral

Family members have left. Bed linens washed. And I am finally sleeping some. I wanted to do the funeral in a way Dwane would like and I was well prepared. What I was not prepared for were the criticisms.  Criticism about details, plan of and place of burial. That took me by surprise and added to the stress. I guess there is just no way a person can plan well enough to avoid conflict. 
But, it is over, and now time to rebuild my life.

  1. My deep condolences to you on the passing of Dwane.
    I too find the dynamics of people odd after a persons death. We all react differently after death I suppose.
    What is that saying? You can please some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time. But you can't please all of the people all of the time.
    Judith, you did the BEST you could for you and Dwane. You did it perfectly in love. Nobody could have done it better.
    Life rebuilding will take time, move at the pace YOU need and not what anyone else thinks is best for you.
    You have my thoughts and prayers for your peace of mind, heart and body.
    Kathy
