Never "Goodbye", just a "See you on the other side"

It goes without say that funerals are horrible, awful, hateful things. However, one of the hardest things I have had to witness is my family burying their first daughter/first granddaughter/big sister/niece and cousin.
It seems beyond the realm of my understanding to watch parents bury their child. I have close friends who have gone through it and my husband had to bury his son. But I was not in their lives during that storm. To me, it was something out of a book that still breaks their heart and encompasses them with sorrow, but isn't something I went through with them. I have always been a "reader" not part of the story.
Watching my cousins bury their child was beyond devastating. There is a feeling of helpless that I have that is completely new to me. It isn't something that I can fix or make better.
The service was amazing and full of hope and the promise that we will all be together again. If there is such a thing, it was the most touching service I have been witness too. He spoke of this live just being one of many, and that those we lose here, have just gone on to another part of their journey, and that even though we cannot see them, they are still with us always.
That said, See you on the other side Ash. If you don't mine; PLEASE put in a few good words for me when you get a moment. ;)
