Funeral

Funerals are, in general, a solemn affair. An event designed to allow you to not move on, but to grieve. I have been told that you are supposed to feel closure at a funeral. But in my short life, I have yet to feel this. Most probably because I've never been to the funeral of someone I have a personal connection to. I have been to two, one of which was of a distant relative I had never met, and another of a schoolchild I had never spoken to. Both times there were somber atmospheres. Yet both times it was rather simple for me to stomach what had happened. Perhaps I am simply desensitized (as many claim my generation has become.) But it is often difficult to feel something when you haven't built anything with the person. The concept of the funeral is to be of a last remembrance, but for some it is their first of many to come (when there is no closure) and when there is no remembrance at all.

To the people going through a funeral or are dealing with the death of someone close to you. I hope you achieve the closure you are looking for, and I hope that you lead a long happy life.
