How as an autistic person I deal with death. Let me first say this is going to be blunt, and irreverent, and possibly inappropriate and if that kind of talk around death upsets you please scroll by.
Sorry you're having a hard time of it right now! Death is so complicated when family dynamics are complicated - and they're rarely simple! I love the idea of having my wake when I'm still alive. Life is for celebrating!
This is really good Tamsin and I love your bluntness - I am sorry you are going through this at the moment, and I understand your frustration. Death is hard, but it is not talked about enough, and the complications when dealing with difficult family members make things even more frustrating. Thank you for putting your thoughts and feelings into words, you've done it so well and I didn't find it irreverant at all, but then maybe that's just me! Thinking of you as you and your husband traverse this difficult time...
Thank you Lisa, I felt I hadn’t quite done it justice in this writing, I wanted to go more into death traditions of other cultures but I ran out of energy, and you know what that’s like. I may revisit eventually.

Thank you. Indeed why wait? Celebrate it all now.
