And like Deborah said, it is a privilege to contribute to such sad occations. My thoughts go to the ones left behind </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-wiw#post-979551 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 22:18:02 +0000 Adelfa 979551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, yes, it is a privilege. I don't think I realized till this weekend that there are funeral coordinators! Bless you for doing that job.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-wiw#post-979541 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 22:10:28 +0000 Deborah 979541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adelpha, I've been away so have only just read this. Sounds like you did a great job and I am sure you were a blessing to the family. This brings back memories of two funerals I have co-ordinated for babies. One was 9 months, she was born with leukemia, and another 14 months. It is heart breaking and so hard to "keep it together".. Words are of enough. My prayers are with you and the family Adelpha, I always think that despite how hard it is, it's such a privilege to serve on this way. xxx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-wiw#post-979501 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 21:07:09 +0000 Adelfa 979501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just finished round two and it went well. &nbsp;I was most concerned about accompanying a flown-in priest to the Andrew Lloyd Webber Pie Jesu--you never know about unfamiliar soloists (I'm sure they feel this way times ten about unfamiliar accompanists.) But it went super smoothly and the priest was happy with me, and our director said I caught the feeling of it.</p> <p>I wore my black BR Sloan pants with an off-black equipment silk shirt. At the last minute I didn't like how the two blacks worked together, but knowing nobody was really going to be looking at me, I left it. I really wanted to wear the shirt. I think I may need to work on my unobtrusive musician capsule (suitable for funerals plus other occasions).</p> <p>Lisa, Debbie, Rae, Denise, Suz, Una, Hil--thank you so much. It's funny, I had ample support IRL, but I still felt like reaching out to you all.</p> <p>Una's comment&nbsp;raises an interesting question. I was hoping I wouldn't be bumming out the forum by posting. I hope everyone would feel free not to click if they didn't want to read something sad.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks again. I truly appreciate you all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-wiw#post-979479 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 20:26:41 +0000 Hil 979479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - what a sad sad occasion - I'm glad that you could bring comfort via your music! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-wiw#post-979473 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 20:16:25 +0000 catgirl 979473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I avoided this thread until today - sorry...

I am so terribly sorry. My heart goes out to that poor family.

I was checking my phone before the service started and it was wonderful to see your encouraging messages!</p> <p>It went even better than I hoped. Tomorrow's service is the actual funeral and will be longer, more emotionally intense, and with much more music. But I feel I've jumped in!</p> <p>Joy, this was a drowning too. Just excruciating to think about.</p> <p>I realized when I was driving to church that I *wanted* to do this. I wanted to be there for the family, as best I could, in the best way I could. It was good to realize that.</p> <p>Thanks again, your thoughts really helped. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-wiw#post-978941 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 02:31:55 +0000 Susie 978941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a heart wrenching loss.

All I want tonight is to wear black, be able to move my arms, and to stay cool if the church's AC breaks as it often does in 90+ degree weather. If you have any spare thoughts or prayers for the family, they are much needed. </p>
