The Bright Side of Death

a death causes a family and friends so much pain words have not been invented to give this pain justice the coffin, the service, the minister who did not know them Expect hurt feelings, miscommunications, anger and sadness On the other hand.... hugs are never more heartfelt or welcomed than at a death wonderful stories come out, stories that make the family laugh. friends share things they would have never known if there had not been a death.

Excellent, Caren. Yes, indeed, there are many good things that can come from a death, if we allow them.

I have observed more affection after a funeral than any other time in our family.
