    No closure for the rest.
    Closure takes many different forms. We can celebrate the whole of who our loved ones are without rejecting the "bad."

    Closure is honoring the conversation, the love, the friendship, in whatever form it is offered in.

    I am back from the Celebration of life for my deceased friend. Wow. Nothing seems as final as seeing the ashen remains of what was once an energetic and optimistic person being spread. I like where the ashes were spread - outside of Tucson in Honeybee Canyon, with montains in the distance and an Arizona Highways magazine cover look to it.

    I so wish things had turned out differently. But as it is I've mostly accepted this death. Rob

    Sound like a lovely final resting spot.

    I like your explore Catherine. Most funerals or celebrations of life that I have been to didn’t have alcohol.
