Aunt Anne died this morning, after most of a week on so much pain medication that she hadn't been lucid at all.

Looks like I will probably not be able to go to the memorial service, which disappoints me. I'm not particularly in need of closure or mourning myself, but I had wanted to go and support my mother and my other aunt. However, my boss is away this week and we have a lot of stuff due this week. If I were really grieving and needed to go, of course we could make it work, but I just don't think it is going to happen. We'll see.
