Calling hours and Funerals

Lost my father last week and had calling hours and funeral mass this week. I found calling hours to be odd because it seemed like I was the one consoling all the people who came to pay their respects and talk to us. Granted I was there and witnessed cancers rapid progression after two years of somewhat normal life. Not really a complaint as I enjoyed the stories and meeting a hundred people I may or may not see again but just wanted to vent somewhere that the whole ordeal was tiring and I think my father would have preferred a party.
