Officiating a funeral today, I was struck by the importance of stories and storytelling in making sense of a person's life. In the service, it was the stories - often seemingly small anecdotes from the past - that really told us who the deceased man was.

It was the stories that allowed us to truly celebrate his life, to grieve, to take inspiration from his life and move on.
