Hello my dear friend from Ashford.... Of course this topic resonates with me all the time.. Death per se was my last career as a grief counselor & Hospice/cancer/AIDS chaplain.

I know this topic for you is important as you lost a dear friend recently. After I have had a death, about all I do revolves around the resolution of various matters.. This past 18 months has been rough death wise as I have lost 4 close family members(aged 42-79); 6 close friends (aged 38 - 64), and too many FReeper friends, many of whom I had met face to face over the years. The loss of my Oliver(pup) and Cali(cat) last weekend were very difficult.

I have a lot of thoughts about the afterlife & the soul & heaven/hell.. but will withhold them for now. I always talk too much on this thread.

Nice to see so many new faces & people at various stages of their life’e experiences.

I will check back over the weekend. I am pretty tired now. Just got in a bit ago from seeing Bourne Ultimatum, which I enjoyed. I have been up since 4 AM & very busy & am wasted at this point.

Hope you all have a delightful week-end & can do some things that you love along the way..and be with people you love also. So important.

You have had to deal with death a lot of recent times the one that really hit home with me apart from of course Oliver was the young son of a friend or relative I cannot remember the connection but I do remember a photo of what I believe was a table with flowers on it - am I right or just hallucinating. I believe he was in college and I know you found this one difficult of how to deal with the family.
