Dealing with Death during COVID
Hello to my gorgeous readers! I have been on a tiny break due to a death in my family. My boyfriend lost his second grandmother in less than six months of losing his first grandmother all during this COVID life (both Nonna's did not pass from COVID). As if this year could not get any worse, it does. It is truly amazing how much one person can take until their body just can't take any more. My Boyfriends family is Italian like mine so we share a lot of the same traditions. Italian funerals are usually extravagant. Tons of flowers, line ups of people coming to give respects. Our "normal" process of a death takes up to three days. Two days consists of the family coming to the funeral home, and spends all day there receiving peoples condolences/respects. Then the third day is the funeral. If the family is huge you don't get a break. You sit there in front of the casket and shake peoples hand and you say thank you as they look at you with remorse, but that was before...
