today is done, and i don't have to live that day again. thank the Gods.

funerals always seem to ruin a new song for me, every time.

strangely, today was a very good day with J's family, even if we did spend part of it crying.

i had wanted to see his aunt and his uncle dance the night away at our wedding, someday. i still hope to see his uncle...but i will have to remember his aunt as she was the last time i saw her, and we will cast the circle with the flower petals from today, so that she might still see us there.

i think i should go to bed.

That's a really beautiful idea... It seems like a lovely way of honouring her.

And I'm very sorry for your loss.

I feel like I completely missed something. Wasn't she doing better just a bit ago? What happened? (If you don't mind my asking.)

I am very sorry for your (and J.'s) loss.

Yes, she was. She woke up from her coma, and was doing much better. But she never stopped bleeding internally, and began losing functions again. They tried a regular endoscope and then an angioscope in her upper GI to see if they could find and stop the bleed, and they didn't find it. She passed away on August 31st, in the evening. Her family is saying the two days near the end where she was back with them were a gift.

Very, very sad. Yes, I see how they would see it as a gift... I think that I would as well. ...and if I was the one in the bed, I'd be thankful for the chance to say a sort of "goodbye, I love you".

Much love and caring in your direction, Morg. Thanks for filling me in.
One day you’ll walk the world
and keep in mind
The heart you’ve been given
in winter time
And through the bitter cold,
with opened eyes
You’ll find the strength to fight
and stand upright
