Ah, I'm so sorry for your loss. It was my mom that passed last year, unexpectedly, and it certainly proved to be an initiation of sorts for me. I hope some of my writing and experience will resonate for you. Sending you great big hugs in the meantime.
HAha similar to you, I thought the saying was "intensive purposes." Like something I'll only use for describing a really through, all-encompassing purpose I guess. And, unrelated, but why do meteorologists talk about "windshields" (windchill) so much?
I love the way you introduce this tender topic with such openness and empathy - I intend to keep an eye out for your part 2!
It's so much fun hearing about people's misunderstandings with words! I remember someone saying they thought the US National Anthem started with "Jose, can you see?"
I've never heard windchill being called windshields! And I live in Canada where it is frequently 40 below!
I am very interested in your reflections on this, as Grief came for me and my mom earlier this year. I’m still not sure what to do with it.
