Planning a Living-Funeral
Tomorrow is my son's 'living funeral'. It occurred to him that he has a right to attend his own wake - being as he carried out his intent to die - he did not mean to survive, and yet here he is. He feels there should be some celebration. The funeral of the person who wanted to die, perhaps... So I'm at the computer to craft a ceremony, and I'm feeling a mix of dread and happiness..It has been an awful year, truly appalling. If tomorrow marks the end of it, that will be very good indeed. As I write this I am reminded that reality is made rather than found. If I can put enough of this intent, to close the book and bury the panic, terror, sadness, grief, rage and seemingly endless frustration through this living-funeral, that will be some feat! There will be cake, Service-User's request was a Red Velvet Cake, and I made that yesterday. It isn't red though, despite following the instructions and using the recommended food colouring. It will be decorated ...
