I went through a similar realization after having been in physical contact with a family member as they passed. It sort of demystified everything for me and gave me a much more practical perspective on what remains after they have gone.
I hope you're doing ok.
- yellowapple 4y agoThanks, and likewise. I'm doing quite alright, considering. As much as I miss him, I'm more than anything relieved that he's no longer suffering. And yeah, that demystification certainly helped. So did my folks and I (and Dad) sharing a rather macabre sense of humor. Nothing could've prepared me for rigor mortis setting in, though; few things are as weird as a human body being stiff as a log.
- jcims 4y agoThat’s a great point that i hadn’t even considered until you said it. We would say stuff in the house that would get two laughs, the first one because it was funny and the second one because who in their right mind would joke about that.
