[QUOTE="Jabberwockey, post: 725821, member: 18238"] Remember this reminder that while doctors are highly educated and generally good at what they do, they are only human and DO make mistakes. My mothers father contracted emphysema from smoking long before I was born and the doctors kept telling him he had only 3 to 6 months to live. I swear, he died of old age JUST to spite those doctors! I love this! I've always said that I don't want a traditional funeral service. The viewing and the service tend to be emotionally brutalizing and cruel to the family. I've told Lil many times that I'd rather have an Irish Wake type service. Have a quick graveside service then everybody gather up somewhere and have a several hour potluck and talk about the stupid crap I've done throughout my life. And the viewing?!?! What purpose does it serve??? Making family members stand for HOURS next to a slab of meat that is no longer their loved one just so family members that haven't seen them OR the loved one for years just so those people get a chance for closure?!?!?! Sorry, starting to get worked up about this. Point is that a memorial service should be a celebration of the persons life, not a morbid and depressing reminder of their death. [/QUOTE]
