Sorry guys.. I have to get this rant off my chest....
I went to the funeral of a coworker today. He died suddenly in a tragic accident in his house. Leaves behind kids, grand kids, his mom, etc....
At the funeral service.... The man giving the service basically used it as an opportunity to preach at the crowd. I don't remember a single mention of the man or his loved ones... No attempt to comfort the family and express how deeply this man loved them... No words to help strengthen his sons through this time... No words to help them through this time....
When did we get so cold? When did we forget to comfort the mother? The widow? The sons and daughters? To express our sympathy acknowledging the pain of those left behind.. To extend a hand or a warm shoulder to those who need it...
