Funerals are regularly strenuous when they are for someone that you knew and loved.
I suppose they can be even harder depending on whatever the circumstances are! For us, we had a strenuous time last weekend when we had to go South to go to the funeral for my Grandfather.
I was already worried because I really loved my Grandfather, but the fact that the un-even temperatures in the South are in the 90s right now did not help matters at all. Both of us are used to living in the air conditioning just about all the time where we live now, but down there, people are just used to the heat. My wife is not used to the heat at all, since she did not grow up down there. I did, so once we had been there for a couple of days I kind of acclimated to it a little bit. My exhausting wife looked care about she was going to melt into a puddle the whole time that we were there though. My sibling and I just kept making fun of her, but she did not care about it at all. It honestly helped to have a little bit of comic relief while we were in the funeral. There is no air conditioning in the church where we held the funeral service either, so that was interesting. There were a ton of people there and that just made the temperature even hotter. I was just blissful that the hall next to the church had an air conditioning method in it that we could use for the luncheon afterwards.
