We held an online memorial today for a family member who died in May.
Grieving during a pandemic is so strange.
No hurried excursions to the Midwest, no get togethers at my aunt's or grandma's, no hugs or VFW sheet cake or windy graveside vigils.
I enjoy some of the above under different circumstances--the chocolate cake, for instance, and the gatherings. They are all part of the saying goodbye process, and Zoom is a pretty terrible alternative.
Still, one cousin made a video of photos, which we watched together and commented on, we played a word game and shared memories.
I'm left feeling sad still but not comforted.
It's a complicated passing anyway. I guess this is all we get until future notice.
