However, there are generally 5 stages to grieving: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and eventually Acceptance. <br /><br />When we buried my father, I was the only one in our immediate family who spoke at his funeral (mom and brother did not)In my case I said that I was grateful that everyone came to the funeral and shared their stories with us. I knew he was a good person and a good father/husband but it was so good to hear about him from the other peoples perspective. I also said that I hope to be able to make a mark on this planet as he did. He helped a lot of people and I aspire to do the same. My suggestion is to just do what comes naturally to you. I also would use any favorite poems or quotes.<br /><br />My thoughts and prayers are with you EmmettKatie J ♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/15076043147542620428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494060694401004678.post-13163934267115221602009-07-06T11:33:18.155-07:002009-07-06T11:33:18.155-07:00Oh, my sincere condolences to you.

To me, it always feels like I've been kicked in the stomach constantly for awhile. <br /><br />But, I concentrate on the good memories and all of the good things I got from that person. Then I like to think that every time I think of that person, it is them checking up on me.antgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15292057889814780426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494060694401004678.post-59122860594569808992009-07-06T10:40:55.080-07:002009-07-06T10:40:55.080-07:00I don't have an answer for you about how to gr...I don't have an answer for you about how to grieve, but I'm so sorry for your loss...Kenliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09514481580609757683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494060694401004678.post-52446279774453800252009-07-06T07:11:49.756-07:002009-07-06T07:11:49.756-07:00Any ideas for what to say at the funeral?Any ideas for what to say at the funeral?Herbalife Las Vegashttp://www.weightloss222.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494060694401004678.post-89957220898652544862009-07-05T11:18:35.984-07:002009-07-05T11:18:35.984-07:00:( Im so sorry Emmett!:( Im so sorry Emmett!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07009516137159510425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494060694401004678.post-58037431040793835392009-07-05T07:09:53.605-07:002009-07-05T07:09:53.605-07:00I'm so sorry for your loss!

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.<br /><br />The sadness is certainly a natural expression of your grief, and it's not necessarily something you get *over* so much as get *through*. In the days ahead your thoughts will turn to happier memories and relief that your Grandpa is no longer suffering, and you can truly celebrate his life and your gratitude that you were able to share in it. He was very fortunate to have people like you who loved him so much.Cammy@TippyToeDiethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00547787031318303521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494060694401004678.post-21494713600313478732009-07-05T02:27:01.653-07:002009-07-05T02:27:01.653-07:00Thank you everyone!Thank you everyone!Herbalife Las Vegashttp://www.weightloss222.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494060694401004678.post-11326341080738677612009-07-05T00:14:44.493-07:002009-07-05T00:14:44.493-07:00Sorry for your loss.

But you have to keep living.<br /><br />Breathe, because they can't. <br />Exercise because they can't.<br />Run because they can't.<br />Eat well because they can't.<br />LIVE, because they can't.<br /><br />I feel that now I am doing it for 2.
