How do you cope when someone dies so suddenly?
When you can’t prepare for death…
Thomas still remembers how his daughter stood there.
His pitiful attempts to find the right words for something that is indescribable.
Last week, his mom Susi was buried.
Outdoors. Surrounded by greenery.
In a natural cemetery, just as she always wanted.
It rained all day.
But just in time for the funeral, the sun shone down on the green meadow.
Thomas is certain.
That was Susi.
A warm embrace.
The goodbye they never got…
