Pallbearer Experience?
Have any of you, or do you know another woman who has, been a pallbearer? I am seriously considering doing this for my mother who is failing daily. If I can hold back the tears enough so I don't stumble. Just wondering how hard it really is - I'd be sharing the task with 5 strong men.
Re: Pallbearer Experience?
I am so sorry to hear about her decline. I cannot imagine what you're going through.
I haven't done it but DH has often, like Ritzy, for my family. My only recommendation based on his experience is that the very front and very rear spots are the heaviest and most difficult. If you're concerned about the weight, I'd recommend being in the middle and on the side with stonger men so that if you can't handle all of the weight, they'll be able to cover for you.
My thoughts will be with you.
I can not answer your question, but I wanted to send my thoughts to you and your family.

Thank you all for the reports and especially for your kind thoughts and prayers.
My mother passed away before dawn this morning. I am calm right now because I believe she is now in heaven with her own mom and dad.
I am so sorry. I have done it. My cousin(female) and I did if for my grandfather with 4 guys. It was a little heavier than I thought it would be because we both ended up on the same of the coffin instead of the middle or opposite ends. Her dad went to the wrong location. She stumbled a little but it was all good. If you are doing with 5 guys it should be no issue at all.
