Short story collecting dead after space battle

[black1]

Hi

I am looking for a story I lost when I sold a load of my books when I moved to Germany.

Story is about 2 people, think a man and a woman and they are collecting the dead after a titanic space battle. They are collecting both sides and there is little difference between them. Then it gets weird, they find a female corpse, frozen solid and the woman collector freaks out, puts it in a wedding dress and is crying over it - turns out it is her daughter, killed in the battle. End of story. it's a good story that stays with you for years. Sadly the book that it was in did not stay with me. Anyone know it?

It should be Bujold "Aftermaths" which is also ending to her novel "Shards of Honor"

Hey thanks!!!

That was a great reply. You know what? I have that book and I just found the story after you directed me to it. I thought it was in a short story compilation. I have several thousand books and after a while things get away from you, especially if you have sold quite a few.
