This is a really beautiful article on saying goodbye. I needed Kleenex, just as a warning. :cry:

1. thank you

this is a beautiful article. I am interested in various rituals for death. Where there are no specified rules and rituals, it's hard on those who remain to know what to do. The rituals have a purpose.

2. I will read this one of these days, but not now.

I cannot cry anymore right now, so the Kleenex reference stopped me. But thanks for posting. Although, I haven't read your article, if it's really about preparing yourself for loss in the family instead of trying to pick up the threads afterwards, it will be of comfort to many before their time of bevreavement comes.
