Not only did I never consider my dad passing...

But what's weighing on my mind is that my mom decided to have him cremated. I asked her weeks ago while he was in hospice to see what he might wish for, but she didn't. And she said they'd never talked about it prior.
I understand many do it now more than ever , but it's just sad his body is truly not here. I get that even if buried, the body after many, many years will decompose anyway. But, it's just so final it seems, thinking of cremation. I have a few pictures of him in the hospital, before hospice, and one video during hospice..I'll treasure it always, to SEE my dad.😞💛

My heart hurts reading this. I understand why cremation feels so final… it’s like another layer of goodbye. Even if we know the body doesn’t stay forever either way, it still hits different. I’m so grateful you have those photos and that video. Being able to see him, hear him, remember him like that is such a gift. No matter what happened after, he’s still yours in those moments and in your heart.
