there is nothing i can think of as sad or happy as a loved one leaving this world. i know it may sound morbid. but i'm happy for those who have gone on before us because they are no longer in pain, all the things they could not do they are able to do now. and of course it is always sad that they have to die in order to achive this. i work in a nursing home and you would think that it is no big thing people die everyday. but it is a big thig maybe not to us but to someone else. a husband, or wife, adult children, sisters, brothers, grandchildren, a caregiver, it mattered to someone. familys are such a strange web of beings. you are born into a family and thats it unless there are cercumstances. but the dinamics of the family is what is so distressing to outsiders. not all familys are the Cleaver type familys, or the Brady bunch type, most may be like Rosanne and Dan Conner's family, otheres are worse. but when do you let go of all the crap.????? I'M SORRY for going on and on. but we had a couple in our home that were togather for 68yrs. tuesday the husband past. their children came in told their mother then left. made the arragments with out her took her to the wake but NOT TO THE FURNERAL. they could not be bothered to come pick up their mother to say her final farwell to her husband of 68 yrs, her love, her strength. i'm sorry maybe i am not seeing something that they do but could you not put away your petty differeces for just a short time and see they are human and have feelings to. this poor woman has lost her husband they could not take the time to console her and love her? how could they do that to her, as she sits in her room broken hearted.
