Laughing cow wedges in assorted flavors: Original, Light French Onion and Light Garlic & Herb. Grab a wedge and some crackers. Or just take a wedge and throw it at Boo. She's guilting me into counting calories for a few days. *pout*
I just realized that Chris and I have never experienced a death together. All of our family deaths occured before we were really together as a couple. Thus, we've never attended a funeral together. Luckily, we haven't had friends pass away since we've been together, either. In fact, I've never had a friend die.
I know we are getting older and one of these days we'll be hitting funerals at the rate of, well, Augie (wait, that wasn't meant to be an "old" joke). Sigh. I wonder how we'll be with all that, especially when it's a parent. Going through my mom's death was really rough for me, but I was young. I quite fear my father's decline. Luckily he's very healthy right now.

Well, I hope you don't have to experience it for a very long time. When you do though, I hope that you both are able to comfort each other. I've been through a couple of funerals with DH and it's nice to know that he accepts comfort and doesn't hide in a shell. Being able to comfort each other is so very important.
Both of my parents are gone. Both my x and my Dbf have both parents still alive. I also wonder how they will handle it, well my x any way. My Dbf isn't all that close to his parents. I made him go see them after 10 years of not.
I wonder how I'll handle any other loved ones - sisters, brother, friends? Good I hate the thought.
Michelle and I have been to a few together. It never gets easier. *hugs*
Sheez, the Laughing Cow cheese wedge does not really compliment the overall theme here.
I had no idea you lost your mom at a young age, Kim. I was very saddened to read that.
Grieving and morning are such difficult emotions but we go through them because we are connected. If we are lucky enough, we have people who, after moving past some of the grief, begin to celebrate our lives.
(I know. I am suppose to be napping. I am heading in there now.)
Gee... what a nice topic you have today.
*grabs cheese and runs to avoid even touching on the topic*
Feeling mortal today?
I like to think that all the awful things life throws at us are preparing us for the really big awful things.
Well, like Monsty, I am also not a big fan of "mornings", but I wouldn't go so far to call them difficult emotions
*snort*
I find mornings to be extremely emotional and trying times. Like, why do they have to come so early! How can you prepare for something that sneaks up on you and then goes off like a giant, buzzing, sucking hole?
Almost every funeral that I've experienced have been with Dave. Both his parents, eight Grandparents, his Aunt and Uncle, and my cousin's 24 yr old wife to name just a few. I've always been very grateful to have him by my side. He's my rock.
I dread the thought of losing my parents. They're 74 and 68 but in very good health so I'm hoping that it will be a long time before I have to experience that. Dad was talking at Christmas about how grateful they are to have been retired and in good health for almost 15 years. It kind of spooked me when I heard him say that. I can't imagine how difficult it would be for the one left behind because they're such a great couple.
Mornings would be so much easier if they started later in the day.
I have been to a few, maybe 3 funerals, since my mom died about a year ago. THe first one, about 2 months after,I bawled the entire time. I felt for the woman who had lost her husband at a young age, but I cried for me, too. Later, I thought WTH was "I" thinking to be going to a funeral that soon!
They're not easy, but the most recent I attended, was easier.
I meant to also say I'm sorry that you lost your mom at a young age!
