Four Weeks Today. I Miss You, Susan
I've just woken from a dream during which the phone rang. As I woke, I caught the faint whiff of perfume.
The phone turned out to be just part of my dream - but the perfume wasn't.

This Exactly Fits How I've Been Feeling
“... When you die, the energy that kept you alive filters into the people you loved. Did you know that? It's like a fire you've tended all your life, and the sparks are all scattered into the wind ... That's why we survive as long as we do, because the people who loved us keep us going.”

God Help The DSS
I took in proof of Susan's death to the local JobCentrePlus, as instructed by the Registrar of Deaths.
The conversation went:
Me - "I've come to tell you my sister has died"
DSS Advisor - (offhand) "Yeah? So what do you want from us?"
Me - (shocked silence) "An expression of sympathy would be nice ..."
At which point, Advisor's Manager stepped in and took over.

Sue's Funeral is on Friday
I've chosen her outfit - going through her wardrobe was really painful - and am taking it to the Funeral Director this afternoon.
