That is great Doug. Yours and hers body can rest together on earth while you both rest in heaven.

A cousin of mines husband died a few weeks ago. He wanted her to not spend over ten dollars on his funeral. He wanted to be cremated and buried under a big tree along with some of their pets.

had a pretty good day. started the day at church with our weekly prayer meeting/bible study 730-900. then followed my friend back to her house to swap out her vent hood. eh, simple 45 min job.....3 hours later, including a run back to the shop to get tools and more wiring, got it done and it works well. then we and another gal went to lunch, good time visiting, and then some shopping at the grocery store and finally back home around 4pm. so long day away from home. talked to Linda's sister in the middle of the day briefly - good chat.

yeah, I miss her every day, but i have to live on. and i have found that helping others is a good use of my time and talents.

thank you everyone.

IIRC There are 7 stages of grief and no shortcuts, you have to visit each one before you can move on... Sounds like you are handling things as best as can be expected.
