I'm sorry for your loss, Adam. Sounds like she was an amazing patriarch.

I do think regular generational gatherings like that are important. I also think cultures and societies are constantly shifting and changing as different generations begin to value things differently due to different contexts and circumstances. What causes a loss from one perspective is a gain in another (example: shifting away from dogma towards more open-minded, evidence-backed logic, reason, and skepticism has been hugely beneficial to my life, but previous generations may feel very differently).

I think we all have a lot to learn from each other, both old and new.

I hope you develop new routines which work for you and your family in new and beautiful ways.
