How to laugh at a funeral by Stephen

"Always celebrate life not death"

How I did it: When someone you love or care about passes, there is always sadness and loss.  Celebrating their life instead of mourning them helps make the funeral ceremony a better experience and not just an outpouring of grief.  At the funeral, the family and friends of my friends shared their many memories of her, and some were lighthearted and funny causing many of the mourners to laugh including me.  It felt good to remember happy times and share together why we cared for her so much.

PasadenaSue is ready for some serious change... and life is helping me.

Sorry for your loss.

I cheer your rising above the sadness and celebrating your friend’s life. While you will never create new memories with her, you have a wealth of memories to draw from for the rest of your life.

Thank you for sharing your experience. It makes a difference to us.

Thank you PasadenaSue

I only wish that when I am gone, that I could be remembered so fondly as she was.

This song wasn’t played at the services, but it is a love that she and all the mourners shared:
