((((Teppy, Boy, and family))))
There's a certain comfort in post-death rituals. Knowing that you now have to do X, Y, and Z means you can just do them without thinking. Which isn't the worst thing in the world at a time when you really aren't up to thinking.
Much peace to you, The Boy, and his family, Steph.
Teppy, my deepest sympathies to you and Tim and his family.
My condolences to you, Tim and his family, Teppy.
Steph, much comfort to you and to Tim and his family. All our sympathies are with you today.
Special snowflake CALLS within 5 minutes and even said "I know you said not to call, but I'm so upset for you guys!"
OMFG. People. ::thwaps::
Sweet fuckity bollocks.
I'm so stealing that. And it sucks that you got no prep time.
WTF, Special Snowflake? Ugh.
What Fred Pete said. Rituals are surprisingly comforting.
Peace and grace and blessings to all.
Peace to you and the Boy and his family, Teppy.
Strength to you, Tim and Tim's family. I'm glad she was able to die on her terms and remain active until so close to the end.
Ack, Jars! I'd bet this is the day you thought "These clothes are getting a little ratty, and I'm putting off washing my hair until tomorrow."
