Ive never been to one before and Now I have to go... An old friend of mine passed away suddenly. I'm sad. Ive never really had anyone that I know die before.

I went to my Grandma's furneral.. but i was small, and i didn't understand any of it. Then my friend died a while ago.. and i had to go..

it was hard. I sat with his room mate, who i snuggled with and cryed thought the whole thing.

They are sad. but, part of life i guess

I've been to half a dozen funerals. They don't get any easier.

Ive been to a few, only 1 for a friend this summer and it was awful but in another way it was like closure. Its hard to see all ur close friends crying at once :soak:

I HATE FUNERALS! :finger: :soak: they are so depressing. Specially when the only funerals I have been to were ppl who were very close to me. I wish I would never have to attend one of those ever again.

funerals are supposed to be a celebration of life...

but they always make me cry regardless

The man is right :(

then again, loss is not supposed to be easy, that is how we gain understanding of loss..and how we are able to move on with our lives enriched somehow by our experiences with this person that passed on is through the hardship of loss itself.

Miss T is right
it is a sad moment and can be shocking under certain circumstances why someone dies.
my last funeral was a few months ago my friend died in a motorcycle accident at 19 years old. everyone was crying, but the memorial service was extremely positive and everyone had special moments to share with everyone about all the good times they had with my friend. the parents of my friend joe seemed quite calm and happy...they weren't crying at all, but celebrating the short but wonderful life of their son.
