What a wonderful poem! So many of the same emotions that I have felt during and after funerals... Things are a little different now, with the pandemic: limited number of people allowed at the funeral, no hugging, etc.

Jenny, this comes across as honest and lovely. Grieving is different for different people and friendship—just to be near and to sit with—comforting even if no words are said... Now that I’m introduced to you through this poem, I look forward to reading more of your poetry. -Glen
