We don’t like to think about death, but the way we die says a lot about how we live.
My latest review explores No Ordinary Deaths: A People's History of Mortality by Molly Conisbee, a book about how even the most ordinary deaths are shaped by culture, community, and time.

I suspect I will think about this fess a lot.
Not only did I do same, but the idea that both parties are doing it, thinking of their loved one or friend...and not talking directly..it's very poignant. (but NOT via that WA, please...that might be too hard for the other party to cope with)
It's very indicative of the loneliness of grief, especially the loss of a partner. That blank void...you can get lost in.
And yes I looked at Paul's (my friend who I lost to suicide) message a lot, trying to make sense since it was about 9 hours before he died.
No clues there.
🤠 work (a local council) arranged to plant a memorial tree in his memory.
I requested a burgundy coloured callistemon. They selected the callistemon wildfire - ideally suited to coastal areas and flowing through 3 seasons.
I picked a location at Cotton Tree, overlooking the Maroochy River, next to a park bench located beside a bike path. They confirmed the location.
The planting was this morning. Many people from his work were there as well as all Qld based immediate family.
The tree had barely been planted before a bird was hanging off it, enjoying the nectar.
Her first album was a huge hit – then she faced the sudden tragedy of her husband’s early death. She describes the rupture of grief, her return to music and the harsh reality of fame as a woman in the 00s
What You Left Behind...Comforting words for those dealing with loss.

1. Today was one of the hardest tasks. We brought Dad’s ashes home.
2. I’m grateful I didn’t do it alone.
3. He’ll be laid to rest beside Mom later in spring or summer — his final wish.
Today’s Small Moment:
In the midst of losing my dad—and my brother just four months ago—I’ve been overwhelmed by how deeply simple kindness can matter. Friends, extended family, and even people I’ve never met have been a quiet anchor in these hardest days.
Grief has also shown me who steps forward and who stays silent. That truth stings, but it’s grounding. It reminds me to lean toward the people whose compassion shines without being asked.
This photograph came from a morning when I rushed up the Blue Ridge Parkway, hoping to reach Pine Spur Overlook before sunrise (several years ago). I arrived later than I planned, yet the light that waited there still found me—quiet and steady, much like the support that has carried me through these days. It might sound corny and cliché, but it’s true.
