Ezra’s Casket
Ryan working through things
When our baby Soren died a few years back, one of the most cathartic experiences I had was working with our friend and master carpenter to build a tiny casket from some brazillian wood, with pegs and glue only. Rami helped me make it pretty ornately, but it was no bigger than shoe box. I was heartned to read our friend Ryan and Sherman’s Memorial blog about Ezra who passed away this year recently where they described the funeral. Particulary I though about carrying the casket together as a family. And having no hearse. And Ryan building the casket.
How good. I think it must have helped with the greif. Cella and Josiah and renee all helped with the pegs in the final part of putting Soren’s casket together and that memory will always help me when I feel sad.
