Thanks for all the help March 31, 2022 11:42 AM Subscribe
Hey, just wanted to say thank you for all the help in several recent health related AskMe questions. They were all about about my wife, Lisa (lynnshaze), who was having a hell of time of it, health wise.
Sadly, she passed on March 18, at the house, surrounded by loving family members.
While Lisa was wasn't an active member on Metafilter, we'd often talk about the site and what was going on here. We definitely discussed the various advice offered on her health issues, which was deeply appreciated.
She once said she often used the site to see what "foolishness" I was up to though, heh.
Family and friends wrote and drew messages on her casket before putting it to rest, which was very cathartic and soothing. Several people remarked they'd want something similar at their funeral, so I share these these photos with y'all to show how beautiful that went.
Thanks again, and as a gentle nudge, have your affairs in order (will, power of attorney, health directive) as it makes things so much easier for the survivors.
God bless.

And what a remarkable way to let everyone connect to her during what's usually a very distant, hands-off ritual. I have never thought of doing such a thing before, and am kind of delighted that she'll be sent off with so much love. As so many others said, really just beautiful.

The casket decorations are an amazing tribute, and a beautiful custom I hope is repeated by others.
