I am familiar with that time-frame.<br /><br />These things are hard on everyone. And even though it might not have to be so hard, it still is. Or so I am learning.<br /><br />We've all got our ways to dealing with what we can. When a person is old and goes, I don't think that's a bad thing at all. They've had more than enough chances to set things straight with all those extra years. <br /><br />Yeah. It's when younger folks haven't had a chance to clean up the messes they've made, bring it full circle that feels like a loss... to me. <br /><br />Regards.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09661426960326013304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422399840077165986.post-14599148647617118432012-06-12T12:45:22.987+09:002012-06-12T12:45:22.987+09:00Not too sure I'm going to put my faith in what...Not too sure I'm going to put my faith in what sparrows whisper, even though they might just be right.<br /><br />'Will' - he requested to be let go and lasted seven days with no food or water. And, I believe, he was alone. <br /><br />However, there was a fool who managed to be surrounded by those he'd shared the trip with when he went. Those eight or so months it took him to 'get there' weren't easy, but he wasn't alone when he finally slipped away.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09661426960326013304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422399840077165986.post-70011492397142867132012-06-12T12:36:04.468+09:002012-06-12T12:36:04.468+09:00Grieving... the first time I heard it was from a g...Grieving... the first time I heard it was from a group of women who'd coaxed me out of my hole to just have a few drinks. They said they'd make me an honorary lass for the night so, no expectations. <br /><br />A drink or so later, they got the story why I wasn't seeing anyone and hadn't really thought about if the past year I hadn't realized had just slipped by. They told me I was grieving... <br /><br />I had had no idea what I was doing. No clue.<br /><br />I think women are much better at it. Feeling it and then letting go and knowing or having faith that the feeling will somehow pass. Something which is scary. <br /><br />This is something I'm going to have to be ready for 'cause summer is closing in. Somewhere, there's a gray-eyed cat named Smoke, just sitting and watching. Will get to that post soon enough. It's one of those.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09661426960326013304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422399840077165986.post-25310738732456072152012-06-12T01:55:58.871+09:002012-06-12T01:55:58.871+09:00I'm going through the near death of a family m...I'm going through the near death of a family member right now. After watching the first one go, which lasted around 8 months from start to finish, I just wish my relative could die so they don't have to deal with this anymore. He himself has told many people that he is ready to go and is just waiting for the opportunity. <br /><br />I don't think anybody is ready for that moment, but waiting for somebody to go is surely better, and slightly agonizing, than somebody close getting taken in a stupid way like in car accident, from a heart attack, or even a stroke. <br /><br />I think about a world without my relative, and I don't thinks of sadness, just a short time with the rug being pulled out from under me and then getting back up and ready to dust myself off. everybody is different though, and sometimes I am insensitive to that.hardkoretomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06637315810666645815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422399840077165986.post-62974322540902206062012-06-11T22:22:07.425+09:002012-06-11T22:22:07.425+09:00Pulling the plug when the decision is yours and yo...Pulling the plug when the decision is yours and yours alone... beyond words. <br /><br />I often think of Donnie Darko when conversations like this come up.

Life.
Some folks never appreciate the one ...Death.<br />Life.<br /><br />Some folks never appreciate the one until they get too close to the other. <br /><br />I got a funeral to attend Wednesday. Tuesday is an "unlucky day" on the 5 day cycle on the Japanese calendar. The day after I learned about that 5 day cycle I suddenly was hearing about it as why the crematorium is not open Tuesday in this town. It's called Tomo..... And it relates to friends but they will take you with them even after they are dead because they don't know.<br /><br />What a long fucking day and a short fucking life. I do not grieve well...I dunno what that even is? :(Chrishttp://badboyinjapan.blogspot.jp/noreply@blogger.com
