Ahhhh......I had to take a deep breath after reading your eloquent words. So much truth about how death, waiting for and planning for, death, being present at a death.... is such a complicated and dynamic situation. And one that affects every single person involved differently. You have captured this in a breathtaking way my dear Danna. Phew.

It's so enormous and despite being the simplest and most natural of tableaus, it's also just so incredibly complex. Witnessing loved ones in those first minutes after the death of their person has an intimacy unlike anything else. They are trying to make sense of death's enormity. Aren't we all?
