Funerals

Oct 12, 2011 20:00

The funeral is tomorrow, and I'm going to try to do a memorial post for Mamaw sometime this weekend. In the meantime, here is her obituary. Daddy-Ken has been inconsolable, which is understandable, given that they were married for 64 years. It's still terrible and heartbreaking to watch, especially knowing that there's nothing anyone can really do to help, other than just be there, I suppose. He's been sobbing and begging her to come back to him, and going on about how wonderful she was and how bad he was to her and it's just really tough to see him like this. I know he needs to grieve, but I sure wish I could do something to make this easier for him. Mostly, though, I wish I could do more to help my mom, who is really feeling the strain, and is ready for the whole ordeal to be over, and who can blame her? She needs and deserves a long vacation after this.

So anyway. That's what's going on around here.

family, grief
