They are angry for themselves, and frustrated at all they have to do. People used to focus on what that person may have meant in the mourner's life, how they lived their life, and how they would be missed. They viewed preparing for the death and/or burial as a service and an act of love or ministry to the deceased. Trying to cushion our children from all sadness or pain has helped lead to that, I think. Love your period clothes and the fact you love to sew. Sorry about your grandfather, too.Markyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16844477801748527023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237278258771812379.post-2111239717318128202013-06-19T13:53:56.831-05:002013-06-19T13:53:56.831-05:00Your morning looks very elegant.

There's a lot of similarities, the imposed reminder on ones daily life, a sort of working through the grief externally to aid with the internals. I think a lot of these external traditions that our modern culture writes off as artificial, were there to help the internal stuff get sorted out inside, somehow...<br />And that picture of Anne drinking out of David's canteen about killed me with cuteness :)Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06132139747413662413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237278258771812379.post-87327740506772429242013-06-14T06:23:43.491-05:002013-06-14T06:23:43.491-05:00I am sorry for your loss.
