“When my dad passed away, I was under a lot of stress with planning a funeral, trying to pick out just the right flowers and pictures, and simply trying to find the right way to say goodbye.”

Meaning

This reads as a plain account of grief made heavier by logistics. It points to how loss is not only emotional, but also full of choices that feel impossibly small and important, from flowers to photos to the words used at the end. It lands when someone is trying to honor a parent while feeling too overwhelmed to think clearly.
