Why is it that more people show up to mourn someone than to celebrate them?

Funerals are jammed packed with people confessing their love and adoration for a person they haven't spoken to in years. Everyone makes time to mourn their loved ones, but never quite seem to make it to celebrate them.

I have witnessed standing room only funerals. I’ve attended jammed packed repass in which there isn’t even enough food to feed everyone in attendance.

The new me wonders if the person that transitioned even knew or liked any of the people there.

It breaks my heart, because I know all the nights that I wished someone would call or stop by. That's why I am changing my narrative.

I am going to celebrate me and this time I have left on this Earth. I am learning to reach out and show love. I am learning that it's way too late to show love once the casket closes.

I would rather celebrate you than mourn you. I know we will all transition one day, I want to make sure that the people I love know it ❤️
