~The Viewing~

Sarah's family set up a viewing at the funeral home.  The funeral will be Saturday, but today was a good opportunity to come to grips with the fact that her spirit is no longer her.  Traci, Lorraine and I went and stayed with the family for almost 2 hours.  We were met there by Debbie and later by my dad.  I think it was good that so many people from the school were there for the family.  She was wearing her Salem Bible College shirt.  That was touching to see.  I definitely cried, but not as much as I was expecting to.

 Before the viewing I took the girls to Starbucks to catch up on some reading.  I suggested they do this before and not after.  It's hard to know how to go about normal life when you are grieving, and yet life keeps coming.  This is an attempt to not throw in the towel later when it could be overwhelming to look at everything you missed while going through the grief process.
