Not Coping

Hey @Birdofparadise8 ,

How are you?

Hey @tyme

Been a while we haven't talked much.

I could be better to be honest.

How are you?

Fair enough @Birdofparadise8 . I recognise it's not an easy time for anyone.

As for me? I'm so-so.

Yeah that and my depression @tyme

I’m going to see my nan tomorrow to say goodbye before the funeral on Friday.

Why are you so-so?

Thanks for sharing @Birdofparadise8 .

It must be such a sad/happy time. It'll be a time you can remember when she was well and what she meant to you. Yet you also know she have moved on.

We will be with you in spirit.

My so-so is that there are a lot of things happening for me that I'm going to work through in the upcoming weeks. Nothing major. Just things to think about 🙂 It's a time when I need a bit more clarity in my life.

More sad but yes to be able to talk about all the things she has accomplished she is a very well-known person in Tassie. She has done a lot of things and has a lot of friends.

There will be at least 150 people at the funeral.

Thank you @tyme its going to be a hard day seeing her. However she will look a bit different then she did when she died. They fix her up and make her look a bit more presentable. The funeral will be even harder. All the grandchildren will walk down the side of the coffin.

Oh okay is everything okay?

Yes yes, everything is okay on my side. Thanks for asking @Birdofparadise8

As for funerals. I've been to plenty in my life. Believe it or not, I've always found that the person looks so peaceful.

The part I find where I both smile and cry the most is when they show the ppt slides of person's life. The photos bring back so many happy memories.

As much as I miss the person, the funeral brings closure and allows loved ones to say goodbye.

We will be with you.

Okay that is good to hear @tyme

We won't have a ppt. It's not the thing she liked. We might just have a couple photos as people come in.

Thank you I appreciate you saying that.

Will you be on tomorrow?

Oooo @Birdofparadise8

When I say ppt, I mean just a few photos to remember. Nothing big.

Yes, I'll be on tomorrow evening 🙂 See you then!

Ah okay yeah maybe something small I'm not sure I will wait and see @tyme

Okay great I can tell you how things went when I see my nan. If that's okay @tyme?
