Never been to a funeral

[Jane Armstrong]

5 minutes ago I put this to Erin - obviously no reply yet - it may not even be significant. But... something that's increasingly puzzling me as I advance into my 44th year. I've never known anyone, remotely important to me, to die. Its even getting to the stage that those close to me seem to make astonishing recoveries from normally fatal illnesses. I never knew my grandparents and am adopted. I have always felt 'different' and slightly detached from everyone around me (a result of being adopted perhaps?) I'm only just beginning to explore my spirituality and do not even understand most of the language used on these forums. Can't even remember how I got here... hmmm.
Right, off to read more about manifesting money so I can afford to meet with Erin in person, but until then - any ideas or comments?

I don´t think that´s so unusual. The first funeral I attended was my grandfather´s, and I was 30 at the time. Sooner or later, someone will die, unfortunately. Greetings!

You are unhappy because you haven't lost anyone you deeply love? That sounds more like a blessing to me.

I'd give anything to have my grandmother back. She was a real special lady, and I'd do anything to see her again. At her request, there was no funeral.

I've never been to a funeral, which is by choice. I won't go until it's someone that I truly can't avoid attending their funeral. I understand the use for funerals, but they don't serve me very well. I see no reason to say "Goodbye" because they are already gone, and only their shell remains. I can probably work on my mourning technique a little bit as opposed to bottling my emotions in, but I don't think that a funeral would be a good venue to practice this in.

At any rate, you're in good company. Funerals are not a part of everyone's lives. Some people make it a point to never go to them.

Thanks for the replies but...

a) I never said I was unhappy about not having been to a funeral
b) I havn't made a conscious decision not to go to a funeral

The point was this - I have never had cause to go to a funeral because no-one close to me has ever died. I am neither happy or sad about this - just puzzled.

Think yourself lucky.

The funerals I have been too have by and large been boring. I don't really feel any emotions surrounding death so...it just bored me.

when I first saw the title to this thread I said "lucky person"

my first memory of a funeral is at the age of 7 when my mom forced me to kneel at my grandmother's casket (her mom ) and I got scared because she wouldn't wake up
I try to avoid funerals now and I have missed many except my dad's

do a lot of exploring and manifest some money !!
