The Wake Service
Hello everyone. Praise the Lord!
I had been in and out of the downstairs break room all morning. The break room was busy! I seen some kids running around in the back garden. I really didn't think too much of it. I was making a lot of coffee!
Around noon I went in to check on things and the room was packed with people! They were all Hispanics. I did notice earlier that one of the downstairs rooms had a lot of visitors, I tried to speak to a few, but they couldn't speak English.
I was upstairs and seen the security guard and told him about the break room being packed. He said that a family was having a Wake. A Wake is a family gathering to see the body of a loved one.
We have had a lot of Memorial services in the chapel. I have even helped with some of them. But this is the first time that I've seen a Wake take place here in one of the rooms. But, there is a first time for everything.
Usually funeral homes host the Wake services. But, I thought that it was nice that we were hosting one. If anything, I is always nice to see a lot of family and visitors here at our hospice.
Have you ever been to a Wake? Can you tell me about it in the comments section?
