I was waiting for this lesson. There is so much confusion about funerals in Africa and this gives a reasoned out biblical approach to funerals. Reply

Grief I'm 62 and my father passed over 6yrs ago, mom just 3 years ago on monday. I still cant deal with this loss. I am think of them daily, cry all the time, have terrible dreams, and guilt that I did not do a good job taking care of them at the end of their life. Reply

in response to marilynn Isreal-Langworthy:

Hello.
i think the best thing you can do is pay back your father and mother by doing Mitzvot and reading Psalms for the souls.
That is what gives them more than your tears. Torah and Mitzvot. Maybe donate books for a Beit Midrash in their name. Good luck Reply
