Elaine -

My mother was so beautiful, I wanted to be able to remember her the way she was. So I had my husband bring the clothes I had purchased for my mom to be dressed in to the funeral parlor. Then about a week after she was buried, I went to the room in the nursing home where she had resided, and sure enough there sat another lady--sort of leaning in the same direction my mother did, but definitely not my Mom.

I will pray that God will guide you to some ritual to bring you closure on this loss for you.

Hugs,

EJ
