Sorry to hear that. It is hard; it's been 15 years since I've had to say goodbye to a loved one.

I'm also sorry to hear of your loss, my grandmother also died recently. She was a very dedicated Christian, and the church service is exactly what she wanted and anything else wouldn't have felt right. In the UK we don't often get people offering prayers, instead I was told that she was watching down on us. In the end all anyone can do, regardless of our beliefs, is to celebrate that person's life and keep them in our memories.

True. Thank you. I don't think it's completely hit me as real yet, but I am glad that we are doing what he wished. That makes me feel good.

Deepthought42, sorry to hear about your grandfather, my condolences. It is always hard to lose people we love, especially when we feel duty bound to honour something we, ourselves, disagree with. That said as a last act of love, that honour is meaningful to us. I've lost count of the catholic masses I have sat through , always uncomfortable, but somehow necessary. I hope you find some peace within yourself.
