Please send good thoughts

I am finally having the celebration of life for my husband tomorrow. I postponed it twice because of covid (and I am.requiring masks inside, but hopefully the weather cooperates to have some people outside).


I have waited so long to do this. I am nervous to be hosting this. My husband was the outgoing one. I am the shy introvert. Fortunately I have good friends helping out. I just hope it goes well and no one says anything tactless . I know people do not know how to deal.with grief but you would not believe some of the idiotic comments ....hopefully it will go.smoothly.

Praying things go well, Sherry. We lost my mom on April 14, 2020 and finally had a celebration of life for her on April 2, 2022. It is still a deeply emotional time no matter how much time has passed. Hugs to you.

Sherry, your nerves are understandable, but sometimes things like this have a way of going very smoothly and I have a feeling it will for you. Hugs to you.

I agree. I am quiet and shy as well and I just let the friends and family who are more outgoing carry the day and the moment and often this is how things work out. Take care and I am sure the celebration of life for your husband will be beautiful.

you got it - you're in my prayers.

I have been going to a lot of postponed funerals, and many of them were good. several asked that people wear masks and folks complied.

i went to one the other day, and it made me miss my parents and family gatherings that used to be the norm. i needed to spend some grief time even though it was my friend's father who passed away.

good luck to you, Sherry.

All will go well. People are attending because they care. Will someone saw something awkward perhaps. But know all have come to celebrate his life with you, mourn his loss with you, and to comfort you.

Peace be with you.
