Loss of a daughter
The last two weeks have been the worst in my life as my daughter passed away on the 28th February and was cremated on 7th March in Sydney.Having been a teacher of children with disabilities in England, Japan, Australia, America and New Zealand, she had friends from all over the world. Some people came to the funeral from most of the countries and we had a webcast done so that those who couldn't attend could watch and feel that they were part of the service.
She wanted an Eco funeral, no flowers and a cardboard coffin. So we arranged to have a white coffin delivered to the house and invited all her friends and their children to a Celebration of her Life and everyone helped paint whatever they wanted to on the coffin. She would have loved it.
I will miss her so much as we kept in contact every couple of days on Skype as Sydney is 1,000 miles from where we live. She leaves behind a 3 year old daughter and husband.
Arrived home to find my son's best mate had also succumbed to cancer, 42 years old so we have his funeral next week to attend as well now.
Life seems so unfair at times. 2 lovely people who had so much to live for.
