My mom's brother passed away last week. He was buried today. I had mentioned it briefly on another thread because I had been thinking of him the morning he passed away. So glad we got to visit him last year. We weren't able to make the journey to the funeral, mom hasn't been feeling great. So I came to her house and we went to the cemetery with bundles of flowers and visited her mom (my uncles mother) and my dad who are buried there. We read poetry, I drummed and we cried.
This is real hard on her, she wanted to be there.
BB, Firebird
My Uncle

Re: My Uncle
It is amazing that you were still able to be there for her and have your own little ceremony. So sorry for your loss.

Re: My Uncle
I am terribly sorry for your loss, ff. My thoughts are with you. I am sending light your and your mom's way. May he have a safe journey.
Re: My Uncle
Thanks you guys, I really appreciate the kind words.
It's interesting how funerary rituals can start the healing.
Noticed mom was a lot more together the day after our little ceremony.
Blessings back

Re: My Uncle
It's like it gives you permission to move on.
Re: My Uncle
Exactly, and it's a place where crying is allowed. Mom doesn't normally partake in tears, this is only the 5th time I've seen her cry in my lifetime.
Just crying reminds me of the keening that the Goddess Brighde is said to have originated. Seems to let the grief energy out so the healing can set in.
Thanks

When the ground gives way and your world collapses, maybe you just need to have faith. And trust that you can survive this. Maybe you just need to hold on tight. And no matter what, don't let go.
