    I couldn't be there, obviously, but they did stream it live. A funeral without the get-together afterwards isn't the best.

    Man, I'm going to miss her.

    I was only joking

      I'm really sorry, man. 😞

      I never know if sharing this kind of thing helps, but for what it's worth, my last grandparent died when I was in Oz, so I did the same thing over Skype. It's better than nothing, but still hard.

      Please love yourself.

        I’m sorry, Tim. That sucks.

        Only non-witches get due process.

            So sorry for your loss. Also sorry you could not be there, or with your family at this difficult time. 😢

              Very sad and difficult. Keeping you and your faily in my thoughts today.

                  Hugs, indeed.

                  It's a pity you can't be there.

                    I'm sorry for your loss and that you can't be with your family.

                    Education is extremely important.

                            A sad day. But I believe your mom knows you really wanted to be there and couldn't. I truly do...

                                  Very sorry, Phibes. One of life's most difficult losses, made worse since you couldn't be there. Thinking about you.

                                      Yes, as bad as it is to lose her, it makes it even harder to not be there. It sounds like you have good relationships within your family, and that's the good news. It's good you have that.

                                      It's quite a compliment to your mom to hear you say that you will miss her. Good for you and her to have had a that kind of relationship. That will become even more of a blessing over time.

                                        She delivered a pretty hilarious person into the world so she must have been a great woman.

                                        It’s impossible before a few months ago to imagine any scenario where you wouldnt be at the funeral. No one is prepared in this situation.

                                        Peace.
