"What People Actually Say Before They Die"

[susanna]

4. My late sister started talking about "getting out of here"

because she had to "get the wreaths!!!" (She was so agitated at the time she said it that it shook me.) She died one week before Christmas, her favorite holiday, and she felt constrained by dying when, to her, the wreaths she needed to get were the most important thing in what remained of her life.

To this day, her headstone is decorated with a wreath; winter, spring, summer, fall. It's always a wreath. Because it meant something to her, I honor it.

This was truly a fascinating article. Thank you for sharing this; lots of food for thought.

I still miss my sister like fire. Three years and counting.

The wreaths help.
