I'm not a religious person but still found an enormous amount of comfort sitting in a quiet church and lighting a candle for my Dad a week after he had died.
If I need to talk to him now I often sit in the garden at the crematorium where his ashes are scattered - its very peaceful there.
While you are being strong and supportive don't forget to take some time for you - losing a loved one is very hard to come to terms with and you can lean on us always

Fritz sleeping in Mom's bed.Fritz had a hard time sleeping last night,we had thunder and Lightning,he was uneasy, was huffing and puffing ,couldn't settle down.When it was over,he was with Mom curled up in bed.He has had his toast,is now in the window.He is still limping,he tucks his paw right under himself and his whole weight is on that left rear paw.Today is the day,weather is not great,overcast and rain,it is going to mucky.We were at the cemetary on Friday and the ground was soft and squishy and mucky,water laying.Afterwards,we are going to the Greek restaurant for lunch,the same one we did for supper on Wednesday.
thanks very much devon. I have been boo'd.

Fritz snoozing in the recliner this morning.The internment went pretty well.Mom cried a little more,i did too when i layed a flower on the little gold vault the ashes were in.The ashes are in a wooden box inside the gold cement vault.The Reverend Lafave said a few prayers,Mom repeated one word for word.He put down some flowers first then the family did.he came to all of us to comfort us,that was it.Mom ,myself ,Marlene,Larry,my Aunt (Mom's sister) and my Uncle Everett,Jason,Shannon and her husband Brian.Jason's wife Barb had a doctor's appointment and couldn't attend.After the service ,Larry,Marlene,Mom ,myself my Aunt and Uncle went to the Greek restaurant for supper, Jason,Brian,and Shannon had to get back to work.I had a Hamburger and Ceasar Salad.Fritz is fine,not limping,had some of my supper ,ham on a bun and some Blueberry pie Marlene left us.fritz had a play earlier with his Monkey and is tired out.Is laying on the coffee table now.Fritz lifts his head the odd time and looks toward the barroom,expecting to see someone.
