START: Harriet: I don’t want it to be summer.
[Jenna: How d’you mean?]
Harriet: When she dies. Winter’s easier, everyone’s all bundled up, rushing around busy and no one has to ask you, you don’t get asked…

END: Harriet: You know, I went to mum’s the other day, just to check up on her and stuff. Walked in and she’s sat in the coffin. Middle of the living room floor and she’s— She’s watching ‘Have I Got News For You’ and she’s laughing. Sitting in it, laughing. And I just thought God, I can’t cope with this I can’t do this. I was looking at her and I missed her.
