The one thing I love most about meeting families is the family politics you get told about. I never judge or comment on them. I always say to a family I never get involved in the family politics.
It happened to me yesterday. Lovely family they really are. ask how many siblings there is and you soon pick up on the vibe of a rift here and there. None-the-less it is my role to conduct the service and do what I do for the family and by that I mean the whole family, rifts aside a service is delivered and all included.
The power of words is a wonderful art to actually have and be able to use well.
Right off to write up a celebration of life.
