Is it not selfish of us to morn in death our loved ones, especially if they requested a type of celebration?
For example, my aunt, who is like a mother to me may i add, just passed on to the next stage of her journey. She requested a memorial service and cremation. That was ok...until they broke out on the second song playing "proud mary" by Tina Turner. I took the opportunity to clap and celebrate as did the children...before they were given the scornful looks from other adults...I continued my actions until the song was over with a smile on my face and love in my heart.
Was I wrong?
Please be respectful with your answers please and if it isnt to much trouble, i would like to know your faith or spriritual affiliation along with your answer.
Thank you all....
Blessed Be

Dearest Trinity,
You were not only right, you were SO right to celebrate the life of someone so dear to you. Perhaps those who are old-fashioned would say it is dissing the dead, I do not agree. Celebrate as the spirit moves. Sing when you feel it, cry when you need to, feel all those feelings, bc the passing of a loved one is sure to bring up a ton of emotion, some of it celebratory , some of it grief, and all the stuff in between.
You go girl! You did nothing wrong, and everything right!
