In those moments, while I was crying and grieving, I couldn’t make the tough decisions I needed to for her. I was completely comforted to learn I didn’t have to, because it was already spelled out and prepaid for, according to her wishes.
They are so supportive and compassionate. They were so kind during the funeral planning process.
