Due to my spiritual beliefs, we are very matter of fact about death in our family. We mourn the person because we'll miss them, but we accept death as merely another phase of the journey, and believe that we'll see them again, either on this plane, or another.

Now, I can't pretend I'd be so sanguine if it was my husband or my children who died. A friend of mine died this summer, followed 2 weeks later by my cat.

So, last night my ex Father in Law died...I was pretty close to him..I think he was 69...he died this morning at the hospital at 3 am.. I dont feel like I have become cold, but death has really been hitting hard this year..I picked up my youngest daughter to take her to school this morning and talked to her briefly about it and her emotion was a lot like mine...she said to me "everyone has gotta die"...those are my words, I have put that inside of her...I am sure I use that as a coping Rating: 5
