This series starts kind of slow. It's hard to get into but once you do it's kinda worth it. IT could have been shorter and got the same points across. The benefit for me was seeing that other cultures suffer from similar messiness when a loved one passes. Confession: I used to attend funerals just to observe the messiness that could occur. I would sing in the choir to get a front row seat. I've reformed my ways (I also don't attend church anymore. ) Anyway, not much to say here but if you need material for a cry day this is for you. I've lost my grandma too so I can relate a lot. (except when grandma half jokingly said she didn't like black people, Taiwan WTF!)
