We Will Miss You, Dear Mum funeral reading
Here’s the next in my series of funeral readings you might like to consider for your loved one’s funeral or memorial ceremony. Some are sad, some are uplifting, some are comforting; there’s something for everyone here.
Readings are absolutely not a compulsory part of a funeral or memorial ceremony. Sometimes family members or friends desperately want to speak at their loved one’s funeral, but they haven’t got the wherewithal to write something themselves. Readings are a perfect stand-in: your emotions and feelings right there on the page ready for you to contribute.
Remember readings can be adapted – if your favourite reading is written for him, you can change it to her! If it’s written for Mum, you can change it to Dad or Grandma or Grandpa, whatever fits for you. Take out lines that don’t fit your circumstances. I just make sure to introduce such a reading as an adaptation.
We Will Miss You, Dear Mum, by Mallissa A Moore
Just thought I’d say I love you and goodbye
We will miss you dearly. I promise I won’t cry.
I will never forget our talks, conversations on the phone.
How happy you were to see me when I finally came home.
You worried so much about me. I worried about you too.
I know this is the hardest thing we’ve ever had to do.
I know you’ll always be with me wherever I will go.
No one needs to show me; I will always know.
I hope you’ll watch over me, be my guiding light.
Giving me the strength I need to win this endless fight.
I don’t want to say goodbye, but we’ll meet again someday.
We’ll pick up where we left off before you went away.
