On my morning walk to work, I heard a singular, erratic cawing coming from ahead of me. Odd, as the crows have usually departed the city by dawn.
As I passed a parked car, I saw the source hopping around a dead similar. This fellow was distraught over its deceased partner and had stayed behind after the rest of the murder had already left. I don’t know if it was a friend, a mate, or a sibling, but the sorrow was palpable.
All I could think of was how my father cared for my mother in her final days and how he continues to mourn her passing a few weeks ago.
I dug out some food from my pack and shared it with the survivor. We locked eyes for a bit and he hopped over and took a few nibbles as tears for my mother and their partner welled up in my eyes.
He lit up into the tree and was quiet for bit before I left them to their own find solace…as I got a block or so away, the lamentations began again.

large part of our clientele are ageing out (think older boomers)
big part of my job is planning, including death claims and dealing with joint owners and beneficiaries
so my exposure is probably more than average, still difficult to look into someone's eyes for the last time
also get the calls on divorces/splits too

but there are some good things like building long term relationships/friendships, marriages, births, taking grandkids to disney, bucket list stuff, etc.
that part is priceless

Sorry man. It is complex. I had a best friend pass away suddenly. I grieved by laughing at all of the funny things he did. Later I wondered why I didn’t cry more. I still don’t have an answer. He meant so very much to me. Anyway, not trying to insert my experience into yours. Just saying I get it.🥺

Well the shop was scolding me because it looked like they had never been done until I pointed out they did the service for the person I bought the car from.
