I hope this is well-attended. Too many times, we (esp. LDS) and put on the "eternal family" happy face; as if that takes the sting of day-to-day death away. It's almost as if we are saddened by grief over losing someone is some kind of indicator of our belief in the concept of eternal families and life being but a sliver of time, blah, blah, blah.

I'm glad to see the veil of denial being lifted. God bless those who mourn.
