I had the honor of accompanying a family by providing a Memorial Service for their beloved son/brother/uncle. The man’s death came quite a while ago, but the family was struggling with their grief. As we talked, I was reminded of the importance of gathering to remember, to celebrate a life, to lay a loved one to rest and hear the words of assurance that they have been commended to almighty God.
Yes, it seems impossibly difficult to “go through” a service, and I understand the desire to delay it, but once again I am grateful for the practice and appreciate its gift. And I am praying for peace for the family.
Blessings.
