Anyway, those were pre-coffee thoughts I had about this process this morning. I feel blessed and watched over by my ancestors right now, even as I struggle to get out of bed some mornings or trouble falling asleep some nights. It hasn't been perfect (family drama) but I have been well supported. 💜

I also want to say thank you to people on here who offered their condolences & support. I've been trying to minimize social media (who needs to add existential dread on top of grieving?) but I have popped on here and seen your replies, read the uplifting stories, bloomscrolled, etc. Thank you 💜

  1. Also, a friend who recently lost his parents sent me a detailed list of things to do/consider that were specific for our region. Potluck unspoken rules, when to give gifts to people who were especially supportive or who helped dig graves, what they wish they had done. That is immensely helpful!
