I love the concept of the message in this picture. We continue to tell stories about Richard. We laugh at funny things he did or said on a regular basis. I just read the book: Confessions of a Funeral Director. The author writes about death-positive or death-negative narratives. Western culture lives with a death-negative culture. As a culture, we are discouraged from talking about our deceased loved ones. But death is a fact of living and life. I’m not saying it’s easy or that i like it. It’s hard and I would rather he be living. But that is not my reality. So I will continue to to bring him along, to share his stories, to say his name.
