Just reaching out for help, although I have no idea what help opportunities there are. It can be anything, shelter, help towards burial, warm words of advice. Anything. I am about to meet the Russian system head on with no safety gear, or training / experience. I have no idea what to do, when all of this crumbles around me. Sorry, if I offended anyone. Just needed to get it all out. Quoting: Snuffielover condolences just take the job..they will provide you with everything this is no 15th century..govt provides uniforms,weapons,safety gears,food and training you might even make some good friends and yes,tell us when russia gets in war with USA russia has no intent of getting into a war with the US of A except in self defense. |

User ID: 65722335 United States 12/29/2014 03:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Here is an update for all you kindhearted people. I just got back home after being on my feet since seven in the morning. Got the hospital papers, spent a good deal in the morgue arguing about the most frugal burial. Trying to explain them the rules and all. They don't seem to understand the term "social burial" and wanted tons of extra body handling and pampering options, that I should pay for. Quoting: Snuffielover Managed to get it and the price to a bare minimum. I still have to go to a churchyard tomorrow to agree on the price of digging a grave as well as transportation. It's all quite complicated. This is my primary focus. The Will people would come later as there's a six month time period for it all. Luckily there is a bit of funds I might be entitled to from the Social Services, as I found out today. They sure don't like to advertise it. Will take a while and two tons of paperwork to apply for of course. I will do it! Even with the current developing toothache and depression I got. Would be wonderful to fill the current void with someone around here I could spend New Year with. Watch the fireworks bloom up around Moscow as the clock strikes twelve. Go skating in Europe's largest skating ring at VDNKh (they renamed that venue Soviet-Style) If I get the burial done I would have all holidays ahead of me to ponder my future course of action and get some relaxation in hopefully. Get my mind off things. You're a smart guy! Stay positive, and keep in touch! {{{Hugs}}} |

Don't think this is very healthy for me. Today I will be getting Grandmother's death certificate. Bring Granny's burial clothes to the morgue for dress-up. T he morgue personnel look and act very shady and I don't have much pleasure in talking with them. They won't even name themselves. Sigh, burials are a huge business here. With all the corruption and negative sides that brings. Then since I got five thousand rubles from the church society I could finally pay down the morgue services and the most basic casket service. I still have to arrange some transport tot he burial site, as well as find a place to bury her :( Since I have some time off before everything opens now, I decided to upload a video I made 23rd of December of a nice snowfall we got. It's a little humble gift from me to all of you for your kindness!

Seems the kind people in church would help with a little grave place, a cross and the hearse. Which is good. I am not sure how appropriate that is, but afterwards I wish to go to Moscow in the evening and finally film the New Year's fireworks as I've desired to do for years. One final thing to do, while I'm still able to do it :( It won't be the same without anyone here by my side though. So feel free to visit, we've got lots of snow and I'd really like some company!

Grandmother has been buried now. Oh my! I am still somehow ticking... We had a good service with just the closest people in our little church. Helped carry her casket, then it was off to the burial site. The workers were quite efficient and made a nice grave for her. It's freezing, with high winds and snow, so I do feel sorry for them as well. Made some images for the future and threw three handfuls of earth down before the casket was covered up with frozen earth. I could show some part of this process, as I made some images in church and at the graveyard. Just so you could see how a most simple Russian burial looks like.

All of these feelings are suppressed for now and could be worked on, when my situation isn't as bad. Finally the embedded image is finished and I could show the burial procession. As little and short as it might be. I might frame it on the wall perhaps. At least in this digital age it's easy to spread this information around for safekeeping. Much better then a faded, paper album. I got a couple of those left after Grandmother's passing. I should sort them out, get some final bits and pieces of closure. Then after the holidays I should do a thorough health checkup. Those are my plans so far. Six hours until Midnight and 2015 here in Russia. Let's think of the year that was, clear it out and have a blank slate to greet the incoming year! I can already hear some fireworks outside, they will gradually increase until 2400, then there would be a huge (firework) explosion from most every spot imaginable. A shame it's cloudy, the satellites would get quite the view :D If any foreign minister begins to defend to the death a "peace conference," you can be sure his government has already placed its orders for new battleships and aeroplanes. |
