I am 74 years old and have been through 2 sets of parents, a nephew (He was 18 when he died),
Grandparents, my sister (she was only 48), and more friends than I can even count sitting here.
Also, i am a Christian Counceller that works with men and woman out of Prison almost all have had drug problems. I have been through 11 of them in the past two years from overdoses.
My point is everyone dies. It is as much of a part of life as living. The difference is that their passing is sad, and they are missed, however the majority who have excepted Christ will live again and we will be with them for eternity.
A Christian Funeral is a celebration of life, life eternal in Heaven.
There is no way to fully understand this unless you try to open up your heart to God. There is no downside to asking God to come into your life and let you feel His present. If I am right, there is a new eternal life for you, if I am wrong, you have lost nothing except letting your heart open up.

@Mktonght You are so right and that's the most beautiful sentiment I believe I have ever read on here. Thank you for that. I'm going to keep that not only in my heart but in my personal notes if you don't mind and pass it on when someone loses someone. God bless you. You help so many people. 🙏🌹🤗
