The burial of my mother was also memorable. The weather was good and the sun shines as it should be shining.
Although I was still in a state of shock, I can remember talking in front of a lot of people in the church. I can't talk so much and I just gave a line or two. I gave thanks to everyone who showed their love and symphathy.
The church ceremony has ended. And we have to bring mother to the cemetery. It will be a 5 kilometer walk from the church.
And when we are about to leave the church, the weather suddenly changed. Sun hids behind the clouds. And the rain suddenly falls.
Everyone got wet in the rain. Young people and the old ones got rides with some available cars. But our family, especially my father stayed in the rain.
Rains keeps on falling when we arrived the memorial park, and last until mother was finally brought down, her final destination on Earth.
KEEP SMILING = NEIL

Hello neildc.
I am so sorry to hear about your mother's passing. It sounds like you were quite brave to say a few words at your mother's services. Also, everyone in your family must have cared very much about your mother to continue their walk in the rain. That is a testament to what you all felt about her.
My thoughts are with you, neildc. Take care.

My condolences for you. I think it is really hard to cope with it especially when you lost one of the person's that you owe your life to. I think it will take some time before you can overcome this grief. Its a natural feeling that too. Just hope that someday this will be over and knowing your mom is now at peace and is resting with our creator this chapter will finally close for you and maybe time for you to move on with life without her.

Thanks my friend. Actually, my mother passed away over 10 months now. I just came up with this discussion to remember her. But of course, there is still that feeling. I really missed her so much...

Hi best. That was really memorable enough. I guess, we really have something in common. It happened too on the day of my mom's burial. I heard somebody says that even the heaven is weeping. My mind was really blank at that time. I didn't know what happened next. I know your mom is happy where she is now and she is watching over you. Keep smiling too my dear best. HUGZ!

I was 22 years old at the time and it was sunny.
I was kept tightly between two cousins and the crowd took me home.
In retrospect, I feel sorry for how mummy passed away but what can we do ?
She's still another person with another life and at least we knew her love.
I know what she taught me and I'll never forget it.
It serves me to this day.

Condolence, neil. I guess weather really has something to do with our
emotions in certain times like that. I remember my girlfriend's mother
burial, it happened on a rainy weather but when we are going to the
crematorium, the sun really shined and only after the cremation the
rain started to fall again.
My prayers for your mother.
