There is so much that needs to be done when a person dies. I had no idea… is this what my brother went through initially when my parents died? I certainly didn’t know AND I certainly didn’t give him enough credit. What a dumb ass kid I was… this is entirely too stressful.
My sister-in-law and I spent TWO hours just in the funeral home alone. It was a drawn-out, painful process. All I could do was stroke my sister-in-law’s back when she broke down and try to hold myself together. I made jokes with one of the arrangers, which is how I sometimes deal with pain. So that helped.
And we have to start all over again tomorrow. Picking out clothes for my brother, arranging a family get together… I’m tired just thinking about it.
When will this be over? I keep telling it to be over…
