I'm a bit late here, but my deepest sympathies to you and your family. Yes, funerals are expensive, that's why Peter's parents advised us to have a "funeral insurance" for each family member, just in case. When they suggested that right after Jonathan's birth, I was kind of taken aback, hadn't we just given life to a new person? Who wants to think about death when you hold a newborn? Now I know that it was good advice and we did follow it. It makes you realize more how precious life is and how quickly and suddenly it can end.
I'm a Waldorf-inspired homeschooling mom to three beautiful and spirited children, ages 14 and under.
This is the story of our journey. Our homeschooling years have seen us uprooted from the American mid-west, through the idyllic Swiss countryside, to rest in the rainy heart of England. It's not a perfect journey, but I have learned so much along the way.
