#no because py grandfather died on Monday in the south west of france but he's being buried in the north east of the country#but we need to organize a ceremony in the town he's lived for 50 years before driving up north#so. died on monday. ceremony (religious) on friday. driving all night fri to saturday. burial on saturday.#and you have to organize every single aspect of every single event in every single location#when i compare to how we do things in morocco where people are buried no more than two hours after their death...#this is INSANE.#oh and also his body is at the house. his body is spending three days just being there in the house#i'm totally impassible and dead bodies don't bother me but my mother had a bit of a breakdown yesterday that was fun#anyway when can we be done i'm already over the whole thing i need to get back home#(i'm not being cold or callous i just don't see death - especially at 93yo - as a sad tragic thing)#(listen it would be too long to start explaining while i'm not crying or being heartbroken at the death of my grandfather who i lived with#for 4 years - i'm fine but the whole insanity of organising the ceremonies and the conflicting emotions of my mother and her siblings is...#rapha talks
