It's too bad we aren't as invested in the mourning process today, it seems we're all too ready to brush it off and get back to routine living (even work expects you back in three days). When my friend passed during my exams I felt like I was drowning. I don't think I had the opportunity to fully grieve the loss.<br /><br />I once read an article in my undergrad about what people did with pieces of clothing from their loved ones, it was really interesting. Some people purged their home of the deceased's belongings whereas others kept them as a reminder. There was a gallery showing once where an artist collected garments from mourning families and I think they had them describe the significance of each piece. I only read about it but I would've liked to see it in person.Ladyfairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17402600337611206195noreply@blogger.com
