PASSING
THOUGHTS
For many, the passing of a funeral procession is a sobering experience. Even though we may not be acquainted with the person leading the mass of friends and relatives, we know that we will someday share his or her fate. This realization can give rise to a flood of ideas and questions. Whether this leaves us changed for a moment, a lifetime, or not at all is a much harder question to answer. In any case, the reflection should be welcomed. As the British writer Gerald Brenan once wrote, “When we attend the funerals of our friends we grieve for them, but when we go to those of other people it is chiefly our own deaths that we mourn for.”
Loss is simply a part of life. That doesn't mean we have to like it, but those who seek a meaningful life often embrace this truth to better savor the time they have, rather than trying to prevent the losses that affect us all. At the Moser Funeral Home, we are glad to offer suggestions for resources that can help you deal with the particular sense of loss children face over the death of one near to them. We're at 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton. For answers to your questions, call 540-347-3431
