Visitation Today

 

Life comes from the earth and life returns to the earth.
Zhuangzi

Carm was away all day yesterday with his siblings to make the arrangements for the visitation and funeral. The church for the funeral is booked for Friday, so they have had to compress everything down to 2 days. The visitation today will be 7 hours in total – no breaks. I think everyone will be totally exhausted at the end of it – especially Carm’s mom – I’m a bit worried about her. The funeral is tomorrow morning at 10am. Everything seems so rushed… and final…

The day which we fear as our last is but the birthday of eternity.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
