1 - You can't change it no how much you wish you could.
2 - It's not selfish, it's normal to think about this affects your life.
3 - You may not be suffering as much as the condolences from others would suggest.
That's OK, you feel what you feel, and they do what they feel.
4 - This too shall pass, not go away, but hurt less with distance.

Thank you xoB.

You're a wise friend.

Durgin-Park is closing on January 12th. If you don't know what that is, nevermind, you won't care a whit anyway.

That's sad.

:lol2:

This fucking song.

Upset is not the right word. Overcome with emotion, powerful feelings of love and nostalgia for my BelovedDaughter most of all, but for my sons too. And for all the children (ha! HA!) of my extended family here. And for their parents my friends, all my friends here, parents notwithstanding.

Goes for them too, goes for all of this.

Carpe, mothertrucking Diem. This is not a drill.

A friend in MA found his 50 year old son who lives with him dead in bed yesterday morning. No signs of trauma or drugs. Waiting for autopsy results while making funeral arrangements today. :(

Wellthat'sgottasuck.

Hope that doesn't happen to Popdigr.

I'm 50. Both Grandpasdigr died at 50.

I'm hoping to drop dead off a barstool. Or off a trollup.

Either way, really.

Bummer. A 50-year-old death is bad news to begin with, but to be found by their own parents... :(

The autopsy came back "damifino", now waiting for the toxicology report while kin arrive from hither and yon. Funeral Monday and interment on Friday. His wife is dead but he has a daughter living next door, one at the other end of the state and one in NH, which are close enough to go commiserate with if he wants to get out of the house for a bit.

Twice I read that as internet on Friday.

Fuck, man. We just got word that one of the teachers at my kids' school killed herself.

:cry:

:comfort:

I'm very sorry Clodfobble.

Oh man, that's awful.

Sad.
