In Memoriam Liz
A memorial service or secular event for someone you have known well is nearly always disconcerting because of the numbers of people attending that you have never met and of whose identities you have no idea.
You realise that you were just one part of your friend’s life, both temporally and socially. This should be in no way diminishing. It is equally humbling and uplifting to learn more. You leave with greater appreciation and a sadder feeling of loss.
