My beloved aunt Tess died today. I cannot go to the funeral and I am sort of devastated by this as I need that ritual.

Oh, no. I am so sorry to hear that.

I’m so sorry. ((Hugs))
Perhaps you could hold your own little memorial for her to honor her memory and give you some closure. Look at any pictures you may have of her, prepare her favorite food, listen to music she liked, just think about her. Good memories of her may help to soothe you.

Oh god I’m so sorry. Not being able to get that closure is really hard. Earth Muffin has some good suggestions, that could help. Big virtual hug for you.

My poor dear, I’m thinking of you. Take it easy on yourself. As Earthmuffin suggests, can you not do a little ‘goodbye’ type ritual in the garden at a quiet moment? I’m sure you will be heard… xx

Oh, H, I’m so sorry to hear that. I’ll be thinking about you and sending you lots of love.

Thanks for the thoughts. The thing that is hard for me is just that I want to be around other people that loved her, too. My favorite uncle died when I was pregnant with T and I didn’t go to the funeral and I just feel a sort of loss by this (underlying the greater loss). My extended family both live far away from where I grew up so it has been hard to remain connected anyway which makes me feel a bit more alone in general if that makes sense.
