I have that problem too - people expect all sorts of... emotions out of my when relatives die. Even close ones. But even then, I may grieve queitly to myself, for a while, if I was close... but I don't understand these American funerals. Wakes. Mementos.

I don't understand why I would want to dwell on it, and what purpose it would serve to focus on the fact that they are no longer there. Is that not the exact opposite of the kind of memories I would want, if ?

They are gone. Things go. That's how life is. Especially in situations like this, when they were never really there to begin with, I don't understand why people think I should be acting the way they expect.

Like, maybe if I was the mother, I could understand the issue there, but... ugh, I dunno.

You know L' Étranger? That guy's me.

You seem to be this guy. EXACTLY like him.

I know what you mean.  I've always felt like people at funerals and grieving in general tend to be mostly focused on themselves, as if it's more about their "loss" than the person who actually died.  This has always seemed backwards to me.  I've never met anyone who was like "When I die, I want everyone to be fucking depressed and cry a lot."  I think the proper response to a person's death should be to celebrate their life.

I know that can't really apply to a stillborn situation, though... more a comment on the general discussion about grieving processes.

I dunno about you, but the few funerals I went to, nobody fucked at all.

How the fuck did I manage that..... fixed.

I've only had one close relative die. When my Nan died I felt guilty that I wasn't sadder but hearing what people had to say about her life at the funeral and going back to the house I spent lots of summers in really phased me. Still it hurt less than I expected and we all knew it was coming and doubly so near the end. Not sure how I'd respond if it was more sudden.

And this is what is wrong with the world.
Plus, you've given me some great ideas for my will.

Don't forget to leave a little money to pay for the strippers at your wake.

I'll be like Oprah from beyond the grave.

Well....

It'd make a great funeral at least.

I finished Fifty Shades of Grey. I decided to read it to see just how bad it was.




I was not disappointed.




Laters, baby. (I need to get a T-Shirt that says that...)

[Bauglir]

Should I ever require a funeral, there will be strippers. And blackjack. And whiskey. In fact, forget the funeral! I'll just request that my body be donated to something, and the money thereby saved be put into an overnight stay at a casino for my loved ones.

Having vaguely heard of this thing, I just looked it up on Wikipedia.

WTFBBQ?? This thing grew out of a Twilight erotic fanfic. Written by the user "Snowqueens Icedragon".
You have GOT to be shitting me. And it's sold 10 million copies and surpassed Harry Potter as the fastest-selling paperback in history in the UK.

That sound you hear is every writer with skill in the world saying "FUCK THIS" and going off to do something else.
