still anxiety up to here. gonna take a half a lorazepam before I sleep.


so about my uncle who died, what 3 weeks ago now? His daughter started to look into the arrangements and then dropped the ball entirely when she realized she wasn't going to have enough money to pay the storage fees and cremation at the funeral home. There was some option where she could have let the UW have the body and they'd cremate after, but she never set that shit up, so as of monday, my uncle gets turned over to the county and buried in an unmarked grave somewhere. I am so fucking angry that I actually want to cause physical violence. not metaphorical violence, but I want to stomp the actual shit out of my goddamn cousin. If she had just kept in contact with my mom and her mom, and my uncle's girlfriend, they could have worked something out, but she just dropped he fucking ball and never called anyone.



In positive news, I may have finally figured out what I want to be when I grow up.

I am so sorry to hear of your grief; this is truly a horrible situation. I hope that you are able to find peace. Perhaps you could make a poppet of your uncle, and have a beautiful and meaningful burial with that? I know it is not the same, but it is sympatetic magick and that may be all you have left. I am so very sorry.

ps -- I hope this posts okay; this ol' luddite is a bit confused with all this click-thru stuff.

thank you. I may do that. I did a sympathetic ritual for my maternal gram's death, as her children disposed of the ashes alone, so I know that may help, but I hadn't thought of it, so I appreciate it.


and you could have commented over at the lj, I need to update that note to reflect that.
