“Life is uncertain but death is certain.”
That is what the preacher has said during my cousin’s funeral service. True. And tonight we heard another message to comfort the bereaved. I have been always afraid of a loved one’s death when I was a child and still has so little faith. I thought when someone dies, it is a long process of acceptance. Now I consider myself old. At 28 I have come to realize that we should not be grieving forever because we shall see each other again – when we all get to heaven. Yes we will miss our dear loved one but aren’t we happy that their sorrow and suffering has ended?
Death is certain that is why Donald and I talk about where he wanted to be buried. He wanted to be beside my mother in our hometown. I also tell him what I wanted to wear and the color of my coffin. I even joked her that I wanted my coffin to be wider so I can make a pose inside. LOL I am also collecting nice portraits that they can put on top of it and to make slide shows to be shown each night after the service. There are still more instructions that I will write for my family to follow closely and if they don’t….they know what I could do to them. LOL
