I dunno if I mentioned this to you before, but a friend of mine told me (after another friend's close relative died, and drawing on her own experiences from the death of her father) - that everything changes after the funeral. You start to get back to other things and can move on to healing, y'know?
So maybe it's not the Tibetan book of living and dying but I went to see RENT on Friday night and all the "no day but today" carpe diem stuff really struck a chord. I like seeing reminders of that sort of thing, don't stop posting quotes, they're good.
That's just something I've noticed...how some people don't know what to say and they feel uncomfortable around you and your grief.
Agree. What else can they do? If the burden of grief can be shared, they'd surely like to help to lessen the weight. But the feeling is intangible (duh!) and many are just clueless of what needs to be done. The most that they can do is to say 'sorry' or 'my condolence'. :|
Oh, don't hide the fact that you're sad. It's what makes you humane. As corny as it may sound, but I do believe it.
