Later, at Mom's house, I was in the back yard with a grieving four-year-old. It was a whiplash-inducing experience, I assure you! For my 9 and 7 year old nieces, I was able to give my brother a book that was published after my experience of Dad's funeral. I created about a quarter of the content (activities and so on), and then a professional counselor completed the work.Thank you all for the warm messages of condolence. I will go back to them over and over, I am sure, during these early weeks.

I'm so sorry for your loss.
I remember when my grandma died (NY in January) it had snowed recently and there was SNOW EVERYWHERE around the graves in the cemetery. They did the "grave side service" of the funeral just on the side of the road not at the actual grave. It was kind of strange but we just walked to the grave when they finished.
My condolences to you and your family. I will keep you in my prayers.
