I spent the afternoon at a funeral. It would have been a great party otherwise, which is exactly how his wife wanted it to be. His friends spoke and had everyone, including his broken-hearted wife, in tears of laughter. Those attending were asked to keep it casual and most did, with a lot of flip-flops and some tennis shoes moving tentatively among the headstones in the hot June wind.
A good party it would have been, except she goes home alone. And the rest of us, we try to help her in the only ways we know how.

One of the hardest things I ever had to do was leave my mother alone to return to my home after my father died. She lived in a different town(about 2 hours away). I'm sure your love and support will help her adjust to her life without her husband.
