Livre d'Or

I found the words from Roger Ebert interesting - as a devout religious person I could accept this, but I think that is because I interpret the words in a different way.

Having lost my mother two months ago, I've been reflecting on many of the issues about how we approach death. When I heard the news that my mother had died I cried, when I visited her I cried, but then I moved on. So I didn't cry at the funeral. It seems to me that many people are shocked or disconcerted by my reactions. People want to comfort me, I want to talk about her.

Sis and I asked everyone to think about good stories to share after the funeral because we think of it as a time to celebrate her life - and to comfort those still here who miss her.
