Lust for life
Q1 If, and when, you die what kind of service or funeral would you like and why
Life affirming and thankful
Q2 What colours or clothing would you want to be dressed in (or others to be dressed in
Whatever they wish / they feel comfortable in
Q3 If you close your eyes what do you see right now?
Hope and warmth with a tinge of melancholy
Q4 If you would like to say anything about this project, your last wishes or anything this brings up for you, please add here.
We need to be open to talk about death and make that less taboo. So we give each other more space to process and words to share our hope, our love and loss
Q5 How have your feelings or experiences of loss changed over the last 3 years? How might you grace yourself with forgiveness for any regrets around the death of loved ones and let go of guilt?
I’m not in control and change nothing with ‘what ifs’. I can only change how I live in the now and cherish the humans, the life I have now
Q6 Any suggestions for others who might need to arrange your/a funeral or grieving (or both)
Grief is a sea that can drown you, like waves it can crash into your thoughts with out any warning. That’s ok. That’s human. Grief is the flip side of having loved. For that reason I have been able to make peace with grief for it reminds me I have and have been loved. To acknowledge it is vital, to hide from it will be what magnifies and eventually breaks you.
Q7 Are there any pieces of music comes to mind or you’d like to share
Fire starter – Prodigy or Run – snow patrol (To suit my twisted sense of humour) I would like to go out laughing as I enter the fire.
