If you do only what you want then people at your funeral will most likely act like that. I'm trying to have an impact in this life that will go on beyond me and be larger than me. I'm trying to not do what I want, I'm trying to do what God wants. And how people act at my funeral is not a deciding factoras much anymore.
In many ways this is a good thing.
Life moves on.
But for some of your closest relationship, some friends and families, maybe your spouse, your son and daughter, you will live on in there memories.
Sometimes good, sometimes difficult memories.
A fun moment in time can live on. Maybe a hug or a kiss.
Images, places, smell, feelings, things, will still trigger memories.
I lost my mom 7 years ago. I still remember her, she lives on in me.
I do not think of her every day, maybe not every week even, but still i miss her. In the beginning there was more sorrow, I was missing my mom. Now I still can miss her, specifically in difficulty times, but mostly I can smile, feel warmth inside, when I think of her or sees a picture of her.
Now she is in a better place, with no pain and sorrows. And I know she is enjoying being close to Jesus, she was always longing for His presence.
One day, I will meet her again.
