Unpopular Opinion: Inherit the Wind
In the midst of every bereavement there is a great deal of admin for someone to deal with, organising the funeral and afterwards, executing the will. A few years ago now, my grandmother died. She was in her late eighties but it was devastating for all of us. Her children, my mother and her siblings, made the arrangements in accordance with her wishes. They managed this with remarkable calm, given the grief they were all experiencing at the time, though they have always got on better than most siblings.

Self-Isolation: Keeping Yourself Sane
So in England we're coming to towards the end of our first week in lockdown of most of the country. For those who can work from home or aren't part of essential companies/services we're confined to our homes. Rules have been put in place for our own safety that ensure we stay inside; we're only allowed out of our homes to one short period for exercise or to get shopping if there is no other way of getting it to your home.

Quarantine life
Coronavirus has been the most discussed issue all over the world since December 2019. It is very interesting how the virus has infected not only the human body but also the mind and the way of thinking. This virus has caused a great panic which is mostly damaging our psychology. Most of us are now quarantined in their homes and find it either boring, awful or stressful. Many others do not follow the rules and continue life normally,underestimating the virus. I don't want to repeat and repeat those boring phrases like “ wash your hands “, “stay home stay safe or save lives” etc that we hear or read all over the internet these days. The reason why I am writing this article is to give some positive thoughts and ideas of things to do during isolation by using this free time efficiently.
