Reg The Fronkey Farmer commented on Raïssa Dhondt's blog post 'Funerals, a 'temporary goodbye''"Until recent times the Catholic Church held that a person who committed suicide would be denied funeral rites and even burial in a Church cemetery if they committed suicide. They never considered the mental state of the person. This is also true…"
Curly Girl commented on Raïssa Dhondt's blog post 'Funerals, a 'temporary goodbye''"My condolences on the death of your grandmother. I was very close to mine and struggled very hard with her death because I didn't have a healthy outlook on it at the time. I have to admit though, I have never read the bible and because of this,…"
