I had two days of visitation at the funeral home to make it easier for his coworkers to visit, but, if I had it to do over again, I would've had him at home right up until the funeral.<br /><br />Also, I always talk openly and honestly about death and how I handled Nigel's—both logistically and personally—because I think it's vital that we all talk about it more. Death will inevitably touch us all, one way or another, and I think we need to make it easier to talk about death so we can all give each other better support.Arthur Schenckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10568299067544221996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34249799.post-89712206108975645502021-01-25T01:25:40.383+13:002021-01-25T01:25:40.383+13:00There's an entity called the DeathCafe.

It's NOT therapy.<br /><br />Anyway, I was reminded about how you did Nigel's funeral at home, which is how it used to be done in the US but it is not now, for the most part. I didn't talk about it at the last gathering but it was on my mind.Roger Owen Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05298172138307632062noreply@blogger.com
