Funerals have never been my thing it goes way back to when I was 16 years old (that's another big story). I know that there are lots of people out there that go to every funeral around as its the opportunity to catch up with friends they have not seen in a while (really pick up the phone make a time to catch up).
I have avoided funerals for years but since Craig passed away and I didnt have any option I absolutely had to go to that one, I have found myself going to a few in the last few months and although they bring back that very high anxiety I am learning to try and cope with it.
There have been a few clients now that have passed away and June Shaw's funeral was on Thursday this week and I sold June her property in Mosman Park.
To me June was a beautiful person so gentle and kind and I always kept in touch with her every 3 months or saw her having a coffee outside Belin. Then one day I got told June had passed away poof just like that. I went to her funeral and found out some really beautiful things that I didnt know about her - thanks to her son who did a bit of story telling. This is definitely what I want for my funeral - perhaps at the wake people could get up and tell a story about me that they had experienced (should I be worried ha ha probably). Celebrating your life when you are in your 80's is a good thing I think. No matter what when it's my turn to go I definitely want everyone in bright colours, Michael Jackson playing, stories to be told and champagne to be drunk and of course food.
Death is hard to fathom some times as one day you are talking and seeing that person one day and the next thing you will never see them again and I think that's the hardest thing to get over.
I always tell people what I think and when I am thinking it as you never know what's going to happen and you may never get that chance to tell that person.
Some advice that was given to me many years ago was - never go to bed on an arguement always make up as you will never forgive yourself if you dont ever get the chance again. Never a truer word said.
As we all get older and especially for the people I now know in the 80's time is very precious and its important we ring those people, see those people and make sure that we make the most of them whilst they are still on this earth.
Take care out there.
