So sorry you're going through this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Mumbai.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 25 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Riddhi
Funeral home services and casket is $410 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Good question.
keep going, Riddhi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Obuasi.
so sorry you're going through this, Riddhi. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Manchester.
Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Bogra.
Praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
