Writt
en in 2020 and dedicated
to the memory my mother,
RuthAnn Richwine Ruehr,
this Requiem is also
written in memory of all
who passed in 2020. The
text is an English
translation of a standard
Latin Mass, but it is
secular: all religious
words were either removed
or replaced. It became a
kind of outline of the
five stages of grief:
bargaining, sorrow,
denial, anger and
acceptance.
