RE: I attended A Stranger's Funeral and it was the most painful I'd been to: Loss, Love, and the story of those who linger on (a long post)

Sometimes it's not what you expect that gets your emotions bubbling over. The first funeral I ever went to was Shaun's grandfather's, not very long after we'd met. What made me start crying was seeing his grandmother being supported into the church looking so frail and bereft. I want expecting to get upset, because I barely knew them, but your heart reaches out and can't help but imagine how they must be feeling.
