    Death itself is not difficult to comprehend; the funeral is. This is clear as I am currently drowning in my sorrows, as my feet march into this black abyss. All I can hear is the heavy, pounding feet of others, as we march as one. Marching to our downfall. It is a difficult sight to witness: couple’s hands clenched together, gripping at each-other as though the pain will subside if they squeeze hard enough. It’s purely comfort. But sometimes I wonder if it is merely superficial comfort – to…

    I came back for my sister’s funeral, I haven’t spoken to her since I left; I haven’t really spoken to anyone since I left. It’s only now that I treasure every moment I had with her, every word I said to her and every word she said back. Her son came to pick me up from the airport, the whole trip back to the house was silent; not a single word was spoken, I could only hear the gravel from the road flick up under the tyres. Funerals here were different to funerals in England, it looks like the…

    As I lay here in this dark coffin, I slowly start to realize how close I am to death. My breathing slowly becomes exceedingly shallow and rigid and I feel as if every breath I attain is my last.

While I lay here Ican’t help but recall the events that led me here. It started one night while walking…

    Bright pink flowers adorned the closed coffin. They were a fruity display of bubblegum hue, a cheap imitation of elegance unfit for the solemn occasion. They were ordered two days prior, yet they showed the crispness of newly plucked blooms. Carol, for some odd reason John would never understand, adored carnations. The least he could do for her now was honor her with her favorite flower. She was holding a pink carnation when they first met. That day, in the year of our Lord 1946, John had…

    and murky despair. Everything was quiet except for those heartfelt words. We watched him trying to stay afloat and not drown in his sadness and disbelief. It was a gray sky on Friday, April 21, 2014. It was some time in the evening, we were in the funeral home all day I didn’t have time to check. Outside, everything was cold and looked as though a single poke could make the sky rain. Inside, was eerily nice and warm, in addition with the old musty stench of death the place; it was almost…
