Burial is tomorrow

My dad passed away on March 10th. The past month and a half has been hard on all of us. Unfortunately the cemetary he is being buried in closes for the winter so we had to wait until they opened and were ready for the burial. I am so dreading tomorrow!!! It is like having to relive things all over again. For me it makes it "real"-not really closure exactly but having to face he is really gone. I was dealing with things ok but this is making me a basket case. Please keep me in your prayers tomorrow as I say goodbye to my dad AGAIN.

" Dear "hurtingmama" -
At least you can be there. I had to leave my Mom behind in a "chapel" (a room) - despite plans 4-5 days in advance to have a gravesite service. Got all sorts of excuses from ground caving to rain to misdelivery of vault. But the cemetery sure knew how to keep that info from me until after they had Cashier's Check in hand while I waited in limo. My Mama was buried alone - by strangers - I should have stayed behind. Be glad you have the option to return - however painful - to put some closure. And while you do, please say a prayer for those of us who don't get that closure. "

" So sorry for your loss. My daughter passed away on 1/31/06 and couldn't be buried until May because of winter. It was very hard to go through the process, and I personally think that there should be something that can be done to bury our loved ones at the time of the funeral. It is almost cruel. We were not over the numbness yet when the burial had to be done, so it was like starting all over again. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Take care. Dawn "

" I am so very sorry for your loss. I lost my partner suddenly on March 4th and his children have finally decided to have a memorial service for him on May 18th. I cry every day for this wonderful man and hope that the service will finally give me some closure and help me to move on. I have to fly from Florida to New York for the service and am not looking forward to it, but I also know I must be there to honor his memory and all our years together. God bless you in your time of sorrow and please say a little prayer for me also that I can somehow get through this day and the rest of my days without the love of my life. "
