Thank you for that insightful post, Janey! You always seem to have just the right thing to say!

I'd never really thought about having closure without actually seeing the person. I'd always heard people say, "If I could have seen them one more time" and thought it would apply to me, but you're right, Janey, that's not the only kind of closure. I had to read it coming from you to grasp that. I'm going to work on thinking of ways we can get "alternate" closure. This is why thousands of cultures have their own rituals surrounding death. I'm sure we can come up with something that suits our individual situations.

I'm going to put my brain to the grindstone. Or something like that.
