Not so much because I was saying good-bye to someone but that they just weren't "me". Needless to say, I completely disagree with the Rev that people need "Christian" funerals. I think people need whatever gets them through the grieving process. After all, funerals are for the living, not the dead. We all grieve in different ways. My father takes comfort in Ralph Vaughn Williams' Requiem and REM's "Everybody Hurts". Personally, I like Gorecki's 3rd Symphony "Symphony of Sorrowful Songs", but it's about 20 mins long and sung in Polish so I do not expect it to be performed at my funeral.<br /><br />The best "music" I heard was listening to Friends share their memories of a beloved Member of my Meeting at her Memorial Meeting. It was a mixture of feelings of joy about her life and the sadness of her passing but it made us realize what a special and wonderful person she was and how blessed we all were for knowing her.Stori Lundihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17841913969719253972noreply@blogger.com
