Lessons in grief: Judy Hefren's valuable research also therapeutic for her

Filed under: grief loss

Question by Paul: What exactly happens at a funeral?
I am writing a story in which the main character’s mother passes away, and I would greatly appreciate details on what will happen. All I know is that the casket is taken from the home to the church (in this case in a horse-drawn carriage, with the close family behind in a hearse). Then the casket is carried inside – and from there, I’m lost, having not attended all that many in my life. I would like to know, as specifically as possible, what the vicar would say, and in what order, to save me putting ‘the vicar said a lot, and then it was over’. Any typical phrases or quotations they often say (including things they may say at the graveside of the deceased). Much appreciated!
The funeral is actually set in the present day, although that particular answer is still very helpful 🙂 The horse drawn carriage is just preference of the family; the woman’s husband is an ambassador, so it is quite an elegant and grand occasion

Question by back on planet marszzz: Can someone offer a shoulder to lean on or some advice?
So this year has already started off messed up. My younger sister tried to kill herself. I dropped out of college. I no longer have a job. I live on my own in a place far away from family or friends. I know a few people in this town but I am very selective because I want to be. My boyfriend of 2 years lives even further away. Now one of my roomates left and in her places is a crazy old woman who makes me feel so unsafe to leave my room. I do not usually complain or let things get me down but right now at this moment I am tired of being strong. I feel very weak and all I want to do is cry. I am planning to move out of this apt hopefully transfering into a 1bdrm. I have some money saved up and my boyfriend will help me. In my heart I want to move back with my family but maybe if I didn’t feel so isolated I would feel better. I do not know. Any sounds of advice?
I have already begun to seek help. I am speaking with a school counselor. It helps when I talk to her. Oh and this month makes 4 years of the passing of my older brother…I feel so tired…
