Family members have a personal stake in honoring and mourning their dead and objecting to unwarranted public exploitation that, by intruding upon their own grief, tends to degrade the rites and respect they seek to accord to the deceased person who was once their own.
Let us stun and astonish the intruding rabble of men and books and institutions by a simple declaration of the divine fact. Bid the invaders take the shoes from off their feet, for God is here within.
When I got married, I was all in love, but then came life intruding in, and sometimes it's difficult. . . I would look at my husband and ask, 'did we do it too quickly?'. . . But my husband was strong in his resolve. He kept reminding me that people go through this, and that we were going to be ok.
