Am I an evil heartless beast? Do I not have an ounce of sentiment in my soul? Not sure! However I think people just deal with death in different ways - Example Girlfriends Grand Mother dies and whilst working away I have to endure approx 25 x sobbing phone calls which where bairly audible over the floods of tears and gasps of breath. I in my way initially began by offering my condolences and shoulder to cry on - how many tears can you shed!!?
She wasn't young, she didn't have her life ahead of her, she was 93 - I say not bad well done - didn't quite get to raise your bat or the telegram from her madge but not bad - in the end i just became a little bored of it all - People will always mourn the passing of loved ones, but they aint coming back - sort the funeral - raise a glass - let the memories live forever and move on.
There is always another nightmare round the corner save your energy for that!!
