Most times I turn down these requests

Have I been professional?

An old friend reach out to me to help design a bi-fold handout for a memorial service and a couple of other things for the service.
I accepted the request although for sometime I had stopped designing articles that are about death because of the emotions and memories of my father's death they stir up.
losing a loved one is up there on the list of the hardest things a person can go through, not everyone makes it out unscathed.

I know I didn't, we all grow at different paces and heal differently too. My prayers go out to the family. :'(
