She had been in and out of the hospital for a while and not doing great so I knew there was a chance it was coming but it was very sudden.

It’s been more rough dealing with all the arrangements than it has been emotional though I’m sure the emotional part will come and go (and has)

If it’s not triggering, please consider this a reminder to write down some of your own wishes and ask your family to do the same-- the hardest part of this has been trying to figure out all of the arrangements and making decisions, and she had even paid for and arranged a LOT of things.

I had no idea how much went into funeral arrangements.

I’m spending some time for a few days with my dad now that it’s all over (or my part of it is at least-- he has banking arrangements still to do and the will and everything, guys there is SO MUCH) before heading home.

Please for my sake-- no overwhelming sympathy, here, I just wanted to let people know. If you’d like to post hot FFXIV characters, though, we are always accepting those. :3
