Whats the point? Why would anyone want to go to a funeral? All it does it makes them 100 times more sad? I hate going to funerals but my parents always force me. Why do people wear fancy black clothes at a funeral? And why do people visit gravesites annually? Dead people cant see them them.
I have not yet had to deal with someone close to me informing me of a death of their relative/friend, but I know that day will come sometime. I just had an ‘acquaintance’ inform me that one of their parents had died, and it was very out of nowhere. What are some suggestions on offering consolation in these types of situations? I found myself not knowing what to say…
My husband is suing for custody. He has attached to his complaint letters that I wrote when we were married and he was cheating when I talked about how sad I was. That is over a year ago but he is alleging that I am too depressed to keep the kids. He and I have shared the kids 50/50 for almost a year but suddenly I am too depressed to have them?
He got angry because i asked his girlfriend not to spend the night at his house when the kids are there. They have the other half of the month to have all of the sex that they want.
He comes from a family of people who cheat,think that it is OK to leave their familties for extended periods. I didn;t know this before I married him.
I can counter this with evidence about his excessive drinking, his parents mental illness and drinking ( with whom he leaves the kids when he is to have them because he works and travels, how he is under the care of a therapist and how he is violent. He has political goals and this would kill those. Should I?
When their young child is raped and brutally murdered?
Knowing that their once beautiful baby is simply rotting in the ground and the scumbag who committed the crime has fulfilled his life’s goal and is now willing to go get lethal injection. He has a smile on his face and is fully content and proud of his victory over purity, innocence, and beauty. He will die happy, the parents will die with a piece of their souls missing. Other scumbags somewhere in the world will get the same victory and there is nothing anyone can do to stop them all. They have guaranteed victory.
How does a parent come to terms with this?
Maybe they can distract themselves by doing good deeds, but do they ever come to terms with the reality and the horror of it all?
Do we have to grief atfter our loved ones passed away such as parents?
I still cry about my mom who passe way 3 years ago.At first it didd.t really affect me but lately i have been having flash back and cry myself to spleep.
