Heartfelt, lovely story. My younger sister and I found out we weren't funeral people in much the same way. And yes, how we're going to deal with the ashes, touching the ashes, and actually carrying out the persons wishes are bizarre conversations to have. My sister and I are all the closer for having done that, and for the fact that years later we can share our stories and laugh together.
Thank you for sharing, Linda! I'm so glad this is relatable. Sometimes the whole journey of grieving and processing and making arrangements after death can feel very isolating, even though we logically understand others have been there before us.
Bri, this is so lovely. The details you are able to recall and write about so eloquently, just love it. The last sentence had me holding my breath. Looking forward to the next chapter.

I'm so touched, Erica. Thank you! Hoping the next chapter arrives sooner rather than later. Thank you for reading and for reaching out.
I love this. Beautifully written.
Thank you. It was... complicated to write.
