Help me reframe my mindset before the visitation tomorrow. Why is this the “thing to do”? The people suffering the most have to stand for hours staring at their loved one and hugging other people. It’s torture. I have such anxiety. I love you @RyanAdkins82 and I miss you so much.

You know how we are always like, “schools should have classes on life skills rather than classes that don’t matter”.. well, yea, they should have one on the loss of a loved one. How to plan a funeral. What to do with the estate. How to cope. Real life shit right there!
