I’m not asking about the worst job. I’m asking about the grimmest one. For me it was when in my teenage years I was making candles you would put on a grave. Most of the time is was just filling the form, burn the right shape and passing it forward. But sometimes I had to fill in for a person who was selling these things, and that is where it gets grim. It was decades ago but I still remember one lady who asked what would be the best candle to memorialize her late husband. And she gave me the whole life story of her and her husband. I shit you not, it was the most touching love story I have ever heard. I quit the next day.
My wife was recently mostly in charge of opening up a new branch library in town in a former funeral home (see my thread in c/pics!) and it has not bothered her at all. Not even the fact that they had basically strip everything in the basement to get the smell of embalming fluid out of the walls.
I don’t believe in anything supernatural, but that’s still creepy.
That said, it’s now a beautiful and welcoming space for the community.
Including the ones you can’t see!
True, there could be ghosts.
There are definitely monsters.
