Awesome! Congratulations! I went to the funeral yesterday..... surprisingly, I came out of it feeling joy. Bubbling with it, in fact. Jane was always joyful and bubbly....I figure I am getting her dose now as she is in heaven and doesn’t need it. Amazing group of grandchildren she has...all articulate and well spoken. One prayed with us for that very thing. That we emulate her grandmother and keep the joy and prayers going in our faith community. I still tear up, but am not feeling depressed.
For the rest of class: Saturday while on call, I was dispatched to my friend’s house for a woman not breathing. She had died in her sleep, I was the first one there from the squad. It hit me hard. I was supposed to stop and see her before Christmas and never made it. She was a terrific friend and neighbor. I will miss her.
I know that had to be very hard. I am glad the funeral was uplifting in a way.
