Yes Dylan, that too. I helped put my mother in her coffin, I laid my dads ashes in there with her. Yep, definitely death. It was not positive or happy or crap.
We had an old fashioned Irish wake at the house, and we toasted and sang and told stories. And said goodbye. It's what you do. And it was not happy.
The bodies were buried, laid in their final resting place. It was at least 6 feet, actually I think more. I felt very sick looking down in that hole. It is very final.
I only know that both of my parents were not afraid, but were peaceful. It's not crap to have seen their peaceful or joyful exits. It happened. Not everyone is so lucky to go that way.
Yes, the body gives way to the earth, becomes one with it. That is another way to say decay. The body is ugly in death. In that Dylan, you are correct.
