[QUOTE="Steely, post: 239210, member: 3301"] 3 shadows.......I always have avoided every funeral I have been asked to attend. I did not want to be a part of celebrating death, as it seemed to me at the time. I so understand. However, my sister's memorial, was undoubtedly the most beautiful thing I have ever attended. I could feel her whole face radiating down on me, the entire time. We showed slides of her life, we read poems, we read essays - and then we all just commenced to sitting at tables, drinking wine, and telling stories of H and her life. I literally felt as if she was right there with me. I got to sit with her friends I had never met, and talk to them, as if I was her - I saw long lost friends of mine that I had not seen in 30 years - I bonded with some of my family I rarely talk to - it was healing in every sense of the word. I would give a large amount of money to be able to do that all over again - just because it was so filled with love. I was surrounded by everybody that truly loved my sister, and I could feel it. I was literally saturated in it. It was like nothing I have ever experienced. So, I understand both sides of the coin. It all depends on who and how things are done when a person passes. I am sorry your half sister has died, perhaps you can find your own inspiration to have a ceremony of your own for her. Hugs, [/QUOTE]
