The last few days have been filled with thoughts of death. I
keep thinking, if I have these kinds of feelings from Kevin's passing, how will
I handle someone who was more prominent in my life - like SI or Cop#1 or one of
my current female friends?
If I hear of SI's
death, would I even care? I mean, sure he was a huge part of my life...but what
he did to me was unexcusable The SI I loved, is dead - someone else
took over his brain and heart and he isn't the person I fell in love with - so
when he passes - I might not care, because I already spent 5 years mourning
him/it. But, I might care, I probably will; because I
am sentimental
Cop#1, yes no
doubt I'd shed quite a few tears.
What it comes down
to is - would I even know if someone important to me passes? Probably
not.
I think what I am
going to do, is have an "in case of my death, please notify the following
people" note so my family will contact people - whether or not I currently
talk to them. Or perhaps I can send a small package to the people
with a short note.
What do we really
know about death? Do we believe in angels and ghosts? Do we look down
from heaven to see who turns up at our services? And if so, would I be
surprised who turned up to my services? Have I even made an impact on
someone's lives where they would take the time out of their lives to attend my
services?
I think I'll not
have any kind of service...that will avoid my disappointments.
I've totally had these thoughts before, and I also have an "in case of my death" folder to notify people.
ReplyDeleteI always worry people will die and I won't know. Like Rob in Germany. I'd NEVER know unless one of his family members posted something on facebook. And that makes me so sad!
