Glad you had this available to you Annie. Hope you are coping during this sad and lonely time.

I posted about Spanish customs which I found very difficult to manage because there's such a rush, so many people, so little time to do anything decent somehow. I can imagine how much a service like this would have helped the process. It's good to keep hearing from you and I send lots of hugs.

The length of time makes it so much harder for people to start the grieving process. And the expense can make it very difficult for many families.
