After a Death To Do List

life is a struggle after a death, waking up feels traitorous. the what if’s trot toward you at unexpected times, hard and fast. the want of a re-do can immobilize you, keeping you unclean for days. Make this list and keep it somewhere safe, so if the time comes, you can reach for it. My To Do List If Someone I Love Dies: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Go help someone.

Thank you. I thought maybe it was too blatant, but Trixie said "You KNOW who we are, right?"

At first I was going to just number from 1 through 10 with nothing but then I knew what ten had to be.

It was a great idea that part of my personalities tried to hush, but we are the loud ones today, and mighty.
