Jason's grandmother had a cheap funeral for $8k in 2007. In 2011, my father-in-law's funeral was over $11k, and that was with a cash discount. It's a major expense to bury people these days.
I’m sorry, I didn’t realize you were off on this mission. I’m glad you were able to see your dad before he passed. I send great comfort to you and your family. May your father rest easily.
It's understandable to be tired and cranky... a lot of administrivia and spending money and not-in-your-own bed. However sometimes I think the world gives us these things as a means of getting us through the loss.
Shepherd's pie is the bomb especially when you've been out in the wind. We did a few cold-weather hikes in recent years and that's my go-to afterwards.
Glad at least you got to celebrate Christmas with your sister.
It sounds like an exhausting time. I'm glad to hear you were able to lever in some family time during that period, even if it was under sad circumstances.
