Tonight, I went to my first funeral in Japan. One of my closest co-worker's daughter died a few days ago and tonight was the service. It was heart wrenching.
The service was very ceremonial, like most things of importance in Japan. Two monks came out and said some prayers and then someone gave a eulogy for the family. I managed to keep in my sorrow until we greeted the family when we were leaving.
My heart weeps for Muchan-sensei and her family. I wish that I could express my sadness for her and let her know that I am here for her. She is such an amazing person and things like this shouldn't happen to people like her. My heart goes out to her!
That's awful to hear.
