The Funeral

William´s funeral was held on July 20, 2003. The closest family attended. We chose the music, the poems and the texts ourselves and it was a beautiful but excruciatingly painful ceremony.

Three weeks after the funeral, on August 9, 2003, William was buried in our family grave at the cemetary at Övre Ullerud, Värmland.

It was a beautiful day, and a beautiful ceremony, but burying our baby was the most painful thing we have ever been forced to do. Life doesn´t get any harder than this.
