So the house is divided. She requested no funeral. Some family members are not handling it well. The Social Worker, bless her soul, seems to think that a funeral service will solve all the questions, heartaches and guilt. A funeral won’t do that for me. I don’t know if it will do that for others.
However, if they insist on a funeral she didn’t want, I will insist on a head stone she didn’t want. In fact, today, right now, I have the courage to order it and get it done. There will be no dates. There will be no graphics. There will just be one word. And I am going to do that now.
…….
Okay it’s ordered and that is my line in the sand. I won’t make the final decision, because she made the final decisions for us. She told us what she wanted. Still, she never put her needs first, so she probably knew that she could only leave wishes, not impose the penalty.
We may always remain a house divided.

It can be really difficult, the first part is saying goodbye. If you don’t get to do so, you may regret it later. But each of us says goodbye differently.
I am so sorry for your loss.
It is okay. We all have to make our own choices. Thanks for letting me talk about it. That helps. Everyone needs to be hear.
heard, and I need to learn how to spell and type.
