Yesterday I went to a wedding.
My cousin Sarah was never married before she died, so her parents dressed her in a wedding gown. She was married to God now in heaven.
I thought it was painful to see Sarah's loved ones in tears as they said goodbye and paid their last respects.
It was so much more painful watching Sarah's mother crying and grieving as she was being buried. When you're a baby, you cry when you want something. Sometimes it's just how a baby says hello. As you grow older it takes a lot more to make a person cry.
My aunt was in her 50s-60s. It takes a lot to make someone cry at her age.
I almost died when I was a teenager (mostly due to my stupidity), and I remember in the emergency room the pain in my mother's face as she saw me bandaged and in a neck brace. I didn't realize at the time just how painful it must have been for her as my mother.
Hearing Sarah's mother, and her complete grief, I wondered what would have happened if it had been me. I know my mother, she would have cried and grieved just the same. And it takes a lot for someone to cry at her age. I apologized to my mother as we walked away and got in the car.
Parents should never have to bury their children.

last line always gets to me. what a cruel world to make parents bury their children. children who they raised their whole lives, watching them take their first steps, their first words, their first everything.
my condolences to you.

Things that you have to leave forever, that you loved, are the hardest to let go of. That's just in general. That doesn't even include the family bit. Add in the fact that it's family? Super hard. Your own child? Even harder. That's something people work towards their entire life. Imagine how much happiness Sarah brought her parents when she was born. Now she's gone.
I had a childhood friend die in a car crash last dec. It's not something that's easy to forget, even though I hadn't really seen or talked to him in 4-5 years. The tears of the family, that must be the hardest thing in the world to have to go through.
