I lost a family member just a couple of days ago from what appears to be a doctor errors. From the loss of an important member of my immediate family, I usually find my self reflecting on the days afterward.
Many people make the death of a family member out to be a serious and sad moment in life. I really don't understand the feelings. I've lost other family members before, and it only felt like they've been living in another state for a long time and that I would never see them again. For me, that's not such a terrible thing. People leave you that you like, whether they be friends or acquaintances and you almost never expect to see them again once they leave. Once that happens they are pretty much dead.
The loss of my grandfather wasn't that big of a deal to me and I was really close to the guy. Sure I cried a bit after seeing him in the coffin but I don't feel a terrible emptiness. Most people at the funeral were pretty happy to see other family members and everyone else had a smile on their face. We all told stories of our grandpa and talked about what we have been doing lately. That's what I enjoy and thought a funeral should be like. To remember those who have passed, and push forward towards the future.
