I hear you. Sorry Ali.

I'm sorry Ali. There's not much to say other than it sucks and is unfair.

I think sometimes we grieve more for the people who haven't been a steady fixture in our lives, because we grieve for the missed opportunities.

Gonna go hug some folks today.

I've been there (no, I didn't lose the first boy I ever kissed, it was my first girl, ya nimrods), done that.

No surprises here on how much grief you're feeling. It's another of those things you just don't know about til you live it.

Sorry Ali.

DanaC · 06-12-2015, 05:31 PM

Oh, Ali, hon, that's terrible. So sorry.

it · 06-13-2015, 07:49 AM

I am sorry for your loss

Aliantha · 06-15-2015, 07:32 PM

Funeral is this Friday. It will be huge. I think I will go for the service, but skip the burial and the wake. I have a lot of work to do this week, and honestly, if I go to the wake I will get smashed and fuck everything up, so I will go to the service, and then come back and honour him by working hard, just as he did all his life.

That is what grown ups call "a plan".

Good on ya..

I just heard J's sister died on Saturday. Last i heard they'd been talking in terms of a few months - six tops - then she went into a sudden decline.

I feel so sad for her family - and the thought of what J and his Dad are both going through right now breaks my heart.

Sundae · 06-16-2015, 07:54 AM

So sorry for J and family. I know it hurts you too.

Madman · 06-16-2015, 07:58 AM

...the fact that I'm not eligible to retire is upsetting.

I bit the ever loving hell out of the bottom of my tongue. It looks physically impossible, but it's there. That was Saturday. It still hurts when ever I eat or swallow. it scrapes right along my molar. It didn't bleed, but it is a massive bruise. I'll see if I can get the kids to take a photo.
