Who Else is Grieving?

Thank you

Just popped in to this thread out of curiosity. I'm sorry for your loss; you'll be in my prayers.

Thanks. Day three. Later this week the "cremains" (I HATE that term) go to the place where they will be kept. And then, next up, within weeks, the "cremains" of their grandmother will be set next cubby over. Grief is a real thing and it's unspeakably awful.

"Cremains". Never heard that one. What's wrong with "remains"? How about "ashes"? It's almost as if they think a pretentious, unnecessary portmanteau will bring you out of your grief. Sheesh.

Right?!!! 'Ashes' is more real. We don't need the "branding" thing.

I said this in my last post:

"And then, next up, within weeks, the "cremains" of their grandmother will be set next cubby over. "

Yeah. Now it is hours. Nothing to do with Covid; just loved ones dying. Rapidly in succession. It's heartbreaking. My compassion for those who have lost family to this year is overwhelming.

According to time travelers, when the time machine is invented in the future, we will be prohibited from visiting the year 2020.

That would be an enormous relief. This year is the absolute worst of my life, and I've had bad years aplenty.
