Grief is so weird. My dad died 9.5 months ago but today something triggered me to look at a Gmail exchange about him w/ the rabbi who spoke at his burial & now I’m crying. A friend sent me a screenshot from a fb group—I sent it to the rabbi to help him write his eulogy.

Other interesting points - I had no idea this certificate existed, and the lack of data collection makes me wonder how this is validated.
