Lately I am wondering how the world would have "progressed" without Einstein's non-rational thinking based discoveries.

How can I distract you? With the worst music video?

ok, don't listen.

three days before 97. I am slightly taken away, tear drops form. I have informed my kids, not by text message. One answered, one other at work got a voice mail. The cremation Society has been notified, body will be dealt with by them, I wrote the obit, short and sweet, 6 months ago. An orphan and widow at 63.

Tim, you will make it through. It's a choice. You will be shaken, not stirred. Heart goes out to you both.

I assume your mother was in a nursing home or were you at her side of her death?

I really got not over the fact that I wasn't at the bedside of my mother when she died. She also just slipped silently away according to my sister. I visited the grave of my father and mother, both being in the same burial spot side by side. It was neglected. A couple of meters away my sisters husband and her daughter are buried. My sister doesn't like graveyards, so she let it be taken care of by the administration of the graveyard's burial grounds.

I want to be buried in my son's garden, if he ever manages to have one. I live alone but feel it's not that difficult to handle for me. So many things I still want to do.

So, yes, I say to NCTim too that he shouldn't fear what is coming. death is final and amazingly we accept it as that more easily than one probably has imagined. And my thoughts go out to you both and my kudos to NCTim for his strength to care for his sweety..

Death is for the living. When my husband died, I was 34, why was it for me? So I could see that life must and will go on and I still had a purpose to fulfill. When my mom died, I was 41. Why was it for me? So I could help my dad prepare for his life at home, alone. When my dad died 9 months later on my 42nd birthday, why was it for me? So I could look back and know that I did my best as a daughter and could release him/them with no regrets.

Death shows us the fragility of life. Death shows us that how we live, matters. Death teaches us WHAT matters. Hopefully, we learn it, learn how to live in a loving manner, learn that life is short, so be the best person you can be.

Death is for the living, so go on living and loving as best as you can. Your purpose is not yet fulfilled. When it is, you can join your sweetie.

I am slowly devolving. BTDT. I will be ok but sad. No weakness allowed. All phone calls to her two surviving friends, including her lawyer. Very tired, but dressed.

No law says you have to do a eulogy.

You could do music, pass out some poems, let someone else do the eulogy, whatever.

You are obviously a genius. You'll think of something.

Just don't feel constrained by what you think people expect of you. Everyone will be pulling for you, no matter what.

This is not about the people who will attend the services. It is about you and Sweetie.

You'll get through, just as you have gotten through everything to date. Trust that history.

Despite his controversial record, Democrats will only get to call four witnesses during the course of a two-day hearing.

Kabuki two-day hearing ?

when epiphanies are scarce I focus on Epiphones, instead. One in particular.

You’ll find your way through it all. Your big, caring heart will help you too, as it always has for Sweetie.

The people around you will understand, having in some way themselves, also experienced feelings of profound loss in their lives. I think this is one time when there will be no expectations of you, and much sympathy for however you choose to express yourself.

You have a talent for expressing a lot with just a few sentences and a song title.
