16. Sometimes it is better to tend to the living
The funereal customs of (my now EX-)husband's family were so different than what I had experienced in life prior to my marriage to him.

Not that I am hyper-focused on death ( we were young , I was a hospice nurse at the time), I insisted that my "ex" clarify with his family that I (a woman) would be at the grave side for his burial if he were to pre-decease me. His parents were very accepting and receptive but were very uneasy about the possible reaction by rest of the community.

Turned out OK ... the only thing to die was our marriage.
