Wore A Dress To A Funeral

[ziggy_encaoua]

Sadly my best friend threw themselves under a train three weeks ago & so last week I had to attend a funeral & I did ponder whether it would be disrespectful to wear a dress but I did as I actualkly don't own a pair of trousers & I didn't think it was worth buying a pair for one event plus my friend who topped themselves always liked my habit of pushing the envelope.

Anyways nobody thought it disrespectful & well I shouldn't of worried.

I mean as far as I'm concerned disrespectful would be if I turned up to a family funeral without a skull cap whether I''m wearing trousers or dress really shouldn't be an issue

Ziggy,
You were yourself and you showed respect for your friend by going to the service. If a skull cap was required and you wore one, and your behaviour was respectful, then you don't have anything to worry about.

It is so sad that he went under a train.

Ziggy,

Losing a friend always hurts and, for what it is worth, you have my heartfelt sympathy. I can only imagine how hard it is to lose a friend in circumstances like that and I sincerely hope that I never find out first hand how it feels.

As for your sartorial choices, he(?) was a friend and loved you for who you are. I feel certain that under such circumstances the family and friends who loved him and attended the funeral were more interested that people cared enough to attend than they were about the clothing choices of the mourners. Respect and love happen inside the mind and are not externally visible, anyone who cares will know from your presence that you miss your friend and will never be able to replace him.

Rejoice in the good times you had together, try not to dwell on the hole that has been left in your life.

Ziggy,

I know what you are going through. A former co-worker's
husband passed 3 weeks ago from Alzheimers (sp). He was
60 but he was a gregarious person. He loved life, good food
and good friends. I felt honored that I was his friend, and
honored him at the service and wake/celebration of his life.

Fill the hole in your heart with all of the memories and
good times you had together. They out-weigh any bad
times that may have occured.

No they were Christian so no skull cap needed but if a family member died then it would be required.
