I know it's ridiculous, but hours before we commit our Mom's cremains
to burial, I am realizing I wish I'd thought of something to say. We
had visitation and a funeral mass. Now I am thinking it's so COLD to
just drop her off and leave the grave site.
I read something lovely related to 9/11 once, but of course can't find
it now. A poem that said, more of less, don't grieve for me and enjoy
your life.
In any case, thinking that is the nature of what I'd like to read at
10am Saturday morning... might anyone have suggestions of a poem that
is not real long and not super religious.. that I could read while we
lay my mom to her final rest?
Any thoughts appreciated. And sorry if I sound cold for not having
figured this out already. I am thinking it took so much out of us to
get through her death and funeral home stuff... we didn't really think
about this last step, which is occurring almost 3 weeks after her
death.
Thanks,
Patty
