Funerals are supposed to be sad? I suppose if someone dies prematurely, yes. But when the deceased has lived a full life into old age, it is different.
I just attended such a funeral. Rather than everyone crying their faces off, it was an uplifting celebration of a life. And more than that, it was an intimate gathering of family and friends who might not see each other as often as they'd like.
I know a funeral for the 35 year-old cancer victim would be all mourning. No one wants to experience that. But the pain in this funeral was minimal.
