One of the Hardest Things I've Ever Had to do....

Do you know how hard it is to write an obituary? What do you include? What do you leave out? To me, a good obituary can bring the person back to life in the mind, and let the public know that the person MATTERED, and did things in their life. I HATE reading boring obits, that only list date of birth, date of death, survivors, and preceded in death by. For most people their obit will be the ONLY thing every written about them. So, to me, it needs to be personal, and important....I'm so scared I'm going to leave something out....or get a date wrong....or offend someone.....

  1. I'm so sorry to hear about all this, Lady. I have been thinking about you guys since I heard. There's a heaviness in my heart because of the heaviness in yours.

  2. Thank you, dear. It's not that it wasn't expected, in as much as death CAN be expected. Still doesn't make it easy, though.
