I went to a funeral last week. Yet. another. funeral.  Our family has now lost 14 friends and loved ones over the course of the past two years. I recognize that death is a part of life, but it has become a much too familiar part of my life these past several months. With all of this experience I could become a professional mourner. A few months ago I officially declared a moratorium on death. Clearly I have zero authority regarding this matter because it just keeps happening! At this point I’m just hoping for a bit of a break.
