My Private Memorial Service
After my Mom passed away, we
had so many plans to make it became a whirled wind of activity. We had
one Memorial Service in California and her burial in South Dakota. Two
weeks after my mother passed away, my aunt was killed in a car accident and
we had to help make arrangements for her funeral and assist my cousin in
getting ready for college. There was really no time to step back
and really take in all that was happening. After things had calmed
down a bit I decided I needed to do something for myself, something to allow
me to grieve.
My friend, Pastor Smith
allowed me to have a private service in honor of my mother. It was
just the two of us. We talked about my mom, I brought in pictures and
memories of special moments I spent with my Mom. We prayed together
and cried together. It was a special time for me to allow myself to
feel the great loss I had just experienced as well as cherish the memories I
had of my Mom. It was an awesome experience and I am greatly
appreciative of Pastor Smith's willingness to be their for me in my time of
need.
