Our society seems to see death as something to be hidden. Even funeral homes are tucked away. Years ago it was an accepted ritual to have a funeral, now I often meet people who are in their 40s and have never been to one. You’re a wise woman.

While I am the oldest child, one of my sisters tended to be more dominant. I won't go into the blow-by-blow of trying to plan my father's funeral, but I ended up acting like the alpha male in the tribe that I suddenly became.

I think, having lost both my parents, along with my brother, that I agree with you Rose----Death is Peaceful , its just damn hard on us that witness it---but again----its just something else we each experience, preparing us for our own turn.
