And why you will never hear me wish for more time with a dead loved one.

It’s so common for people with departed loved ones to wish for one more hug, another conversation, or just five more minutes. But have they ever thought about what that time would actually look like?

*I know that many have complicated relationships with friends or family. People are estranged, haven’t spoken in years, or have trouble being in the same room. And if this is the case, I could see how just five more minutes could be so beneficial.
