Researching over time

Throws up lots of ideas ... especially from personal time lines ...

if I had £995 and all those zeroes that follow the figure ... I could live somewhere that it so me from times past ... 

That was me then ... 

Now I am willing to travel and live life so simply at times  ... 

The life of death ...

... Brings a vocation for some 

Those that work in all areas of life dismissed or unseen by the general population that keep our life chugging along 

Those that work at the top of sky scrapers and other dangerous jobs 

Clear up the s**t in life 

And those that act or model or those that film or photograph the same 

Others who entertain giving pleasure in leisure hours ... 

Those that wait on others whose tips supplement poor salaries for those valued jobs for our leisure time or business dinners  

Those that sell their personal goods 

And those that clear up after RTA or other scenes of death as in my husband fathoming how to get him out of that ... that confronted those that day in my life ... 

How Great Thou Art

and all ...

My Way ... Abide With Me ... You Never Walk Alone ... the many ... the popular ...

My late husbands funeral was themed around Valentine and Wedding ...seeing as we were mid way through marriage in life ... The church where we married where the service took place ... the photo on our wedding day travelled throughput that day and the colour of flowers brighter than the wedding bouquet to show the colour in a celebration of our time

Music and song personal to us with the music on entry personally selected by hubby himself ...

My Dads was selected and dealt with by the three women in his life ... I chose the entry of music from time with Dad ... for that with reflective mode and sister chose his favourite upbeat for exit in a style so Dad

And today with all the preparations finally coming together of a well loved Nana Mum and Auntie with the tweaks still time for ...

... will be a future memory of a lovely farewell to come 

I sat and had a cup of tea ...

... with  my mum In law in the chapel of rest at the funeral home just round the back of where I reside   ... this Friday afternoon ... It is strange that she is back in town ...

I am known from my prior time at this funeral home ... it is very relaxing  ... Ironically the only area here where I feel so presently ... 

When I was in Kernow during my unexpected visit to the Doctor, I said I felt more relaxed in Kernow now ... 

It is more laid back ... refreshing ... I hope to be there dreckly ... 

Tales from The Chapel Of Rest ...

My mum in law will be ready for me to spend time at the end of the week ... I take nothing as set in stone ... A lot can happen between then and now ... 

My last visit to this particular funeral home to be with the deceased ... was my late husband ... 

I was in there so long ... I had a cup of tea made ... 

What we do on these occasions is in our own way ... And the fact these people who work in this area of life are dignified and adaptable ... It is with sadness that did not happen in his end of life ... 

Many Decades of Photos ...

Taking us to times gone ... The familiar style of photos in most homes through the change of technology going back to those stiff formal styles of the first photos to the mass market of glossy or matt photos in those envelopes wallets with negatives in type face so dated now ... 

The Polaroid ones ... And so forth ... 

To those round silver discs with names I cannot keep up with ... to the now of those more recent styles of photography ... and that very last photo taken of the three of us on the 28th of February this year ... 

On our very modern style of a personal mobile data base we mostly all now carry with us ... 

Nature Naturally in Seasons ...

While one family member passes away ... Another is born making one of our many cousins a Grandmother for the first time...

And outside the kitchen window at home  ... the many types of birds naturally clearing the twig strewn lawn for nesting ... This giving me many moments to enjoy watching the antics of the various visiting birds gathering the nesting materials that nature makes from the fallen dead branches from the Winter winds  ... 

The magpie being a bid bird itself ... flying off with a large twig as big as it self .... 

in time for others ...

this was read at a very poignant time ...

We were experiencing time ourselves in End of Life Care ...

my family had made a sleep over of this time ... and at their request photos was brought into a hospital room ... the ITU machines turned off for a more cosy environment for my mum in law ... 

It was of great comfort before she slipped away more comforted and peacefully than when she arrived at the hospital one night last month ... very distressed ...

enabling a grand daughter to be with her Nana when that last breath was taken that was so peaceful it was a calming beautiful moment for them ...
