[HANASHIR:5931] Funerals

[PAPE Janet, IEA/OME <Janet.PAPE...>]

I just returned from singing a very difficult funeral.  It was hard because
it was small and most of the family members, including the small
grandchildren, were sobbing.  While it has always been difficult for me,
it's worse now that my mother has died, to hold back the tears when I see
others grieving.
 
Has anyone found any good methods for distancing from your emotions when
participating in a service?
