Farrah Fawcett will always be an Angel

Farrah Fawcett
Farrah Fawcett also died today. I struggle with words around bereavement, not having any off-the-shelf ideas about what happens when people die. To me, a person – their personality – is something made up of all my experiences and memories of the person. When they die, they don’t really go anywhere – their personality is as vivid in my mind the day after they die as it is the day before they die. As time passes, all that remains in my mind is my favourite memories of the person. When all that remains is my dearest memories of the person, then they’re really ‘in a state of grace’.
My dearest wish for my own after-life is that a few people should occasionally remember me, and the memory bring them a little happiness. That’s my heaven.
