Nadine’s body stayed in our flat until yesterday evening. My mother, Annika and Johanna were the first ones to arrive in the morning, Nadine’s parents and other family members followed. Except for my mother they all left in the early afternoon to give me some time to say my goodbyes. Did anyone of you ever cuddle up to a dead body and kiss stone-cold lips? I hope you never have to. But I can tell you that, even though you might not fancy it right now, in the situation given you will. At 7 .p.m. the mortician arrived and Nadine left our beloved flat for the last time – once again on a stretcher.

Nadine was brought to some kind of goodbye-room at the Waldfriedhof Leinfelden (Manosquer Straße 77) where she will stay until Wednesday. If you want to share a last personal moment with her, you can go there between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.  There’s also the option to drop something in her coffin that will be burned together with her body towards the end of the week. Please make sure that you don’t arrive there before Monday 12 a.m.

There will be an official service too, propably at Febraury 10th, to which all of you are invited. We’re busy making plans, but the date has to be confirmed yet.
