5. The crowded goodbye

“He was covered in flowers and looked so peaceful.” The children put them in his hair and all around him. They stroked his head and kissed him. “It was as though he could see Sophie and the girls were surrounded by lots of love. And he was surrounded by love. And perhaps Russell felt it was a safe time to go.” A Falling Tree production for the BBC World Service.
