Where we Mourn:

‘The cemetery,’ wrote Thomas W. Laquer, ‘would not speak of a place but of people from all places … unknown to each other in life and thrown together in a place with which they might have had only the most transitory acquaintance’.

Loss

I am beginning to thing that a portion of this project is personal for me and how I hardened myself and did not allow myself to experience loss when my mother passed away. I will be attending on Sunday the five month memorial for Josie Evans. I hope to get some real personal perspectives from those who have experienced a profound loss and what the purpose the roadside memorial serves for them on the grieving / mourning process.

Tomorrow is the funeral for the young man killed last Sunday. I filmed his memorial.
