WHAT NOT TO SAY AT A FUNERAL

My mom died on June 13, 2008. This was my daughters 31st birthday. Andrea loved her MaMa so much, as we all did. After her death, at the funeral etc. It amazed me at what people say at the funeral home. Things like, she's gone to a better place, with time your pain will get better, you knew she was going to die, she was under the care of hospice, that's life, and my favorite, been there done that.......how apathetic people can be. Maybe they just don't know when they tell you, "I know how you feel", No one knows what or how another person feels. What I learned is, to say nothing. The people that approached me and hugged me without saying anything did more for me that anything else. Just them being there meant so much. I will forever miss her and love her. My heart still aches with pain. Sometimes my chest feels like it is going to explode. Day by day, day by day.....See ya later mom, Wind the cat and put the clock out....
