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’.

A personal transformation

My wife say that I have undergone a change while working this project, as if I am searching for something which I am missing. This could be. Over the past few weeks I have been awaiting people to get back to me about submitting interviews. There has been little filming, just a little content here and there. Day after day, no emails. I was frantically checking every day and often numerous times and still nothing. I felt like a junkie looking for the next hit. Very strange.

I have today received two replies to requests for interview and things feel better. A book on the topic of Roadside Memorials arrived yesterday too. I am attempting to get in contact with the authors for their comment. We are slowly creeping forward again.

I heard an interesting quote yesterday which has helped me bring the whole thing into some degree of perspective.
" You do not just happen,.....you become."
