People always say (quite rightly I think) that funerals are a right of passage. I always think that the bereaved person will find it easier to talk to those who attended and shared the experience with you. I'm pleased that it was possible for Tim's last wishes to be carried out, you must have been so proud when your daughter stood up and read, what a difficult thing to do. It's obvious that Tim was much loved and not everyone can say that. The time ahead is bound to have many ups and downs Lindy, please let us know how you are getting on, believe it not I think of the many wives and partners bereaved over my years coming on here and wish them well. Some remain for a while, some can never face returning here, it's all understandable. We do continue to remember our lost men and their bereaved families.
Much love
