I'm a pro with death.

What are your pro tips from your perspective? I'm always interested to learn.

Pura buried her dad when she was 22. Getting to know her, I learned I knew nothing about father/daughter bonds.

That's so young to have to let go. Mother/daughter bonds can be very strong also. It depends on those involved.

I don't think it gets easier. I'm saying this because I'm having my second go around with it at present. It's not easier, it's just different and I've learned skills from the first go around, which is making the second go around easier to manage, so in that way, easier, yes....on the merry-go-round.

Thank you @dandays, I know what you've said comes from your big golden heart, you softie.

Just with the stuff you don't have to do on your own. Will and testament stuff, ceremonies, probates, cremations, transferring bodies across state lines—pro.

All. Of. Them. I wish I wasn't pro, it's just the way this one plays out.

Oh, the lovely stuff you mean. None of that is fun but also good to have the knowledge and experience. That's something that you can give to others as well. I wish it hadn't been like that for you though.

If it's inappropriate, forget I asked. How was the service, full house?

It's impossible to forget anything where you're concerned 🤣
The service was definitely a full house. 😊

Since you brought it up, how many signs you think exposing vulnerability requires?

Hmmmm....I'd say it's situational and contextual. I'd need a specific situation to respond with a fuller answer, since I take each situation and person in the moment, deciding at that time.
