tonight i went to my aunt's wake she has been sick for a long time with cancer. she has 3 childern. her kids are 32,31,&27.
this was a hard wake for my boyfriend & i to attend, because his morther died 3yrs ago from the same thing. and we just had our frist child.my aunt's youngest has a little boy who is now only 18 months old.
i understood how both my daughter's boyfriend's felt, & how her son's girlfriend felt.He understood how my cousins felt. His borther also came to be their for us, wicth i thought was realy nice.
as i was looking aroung for my cousin joe,(my aunt's son) to say goodby, i didnt see him. then my dad came inside and told my mom, that the police just aressted joe and all he knew was bail was $2500.
i am still trying to find out what happened. and why. but i understand if you do the crime you have to do the time, however thier a time and a place to sever a warrent, and someone's morthers's wake is not that place. am just wondering if my family memmbers and i are the olny crazzy people in this world who feel this way.
my father even gave his dad half the bail money, my dad didnt talk to him for many years for reasons i dont know, but he was at the wake and helped his dad post bail.
thank you all for being their for me.

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

we we all came together to bail him out, and him was able to attend the service.
then 1 town over on monday night my godmorthers step son was shot & killed by police,they claimed he had a weapon yet have failed to be able to show us it.why??
and my husband cousin(he was close to, died from a blood clot in his brain)
so this is how we spent our last week,my anuts wake was weds,the furnal was thurs,my husband's cousions wake was thurs night, &his service was friday morning
my godmorthers step son memorial service was fri night.we made it to both wakes & all the services, and now my hope is to find anwers to so many questions and to being to cope with this week,
i am greatfull for eachday i have here with my family/friends.and
r 1 month old daughter came w/us to all of the wakes/services, in a time of such heart break she bought a few moments of joy to many people. am gald my little girl was able to make people feel better even if it was just a for min. i know looking @ & holding her could not change anything for all of us or bring our loved ones back, but its amazing that even in a time of saddness a baby can do so much.
i am still in shock, for this week, and the turth is u never get over losing a loved one you just find ways to better deal with it. i would love to talk to u more.please add me to your friend list
You have had your share of emotional distress over the time of year that should be joyful. I admire your strengh regarding all this and know you will make your way through all this. We will always miss the ones we lose and you and your family have had an over load of losses at one time. No matter how strong you are, times like this can require anyone to need some assistance with dealing with all this.
You not only have routine grief to experience but a lot of anger at the surrounding situations with the police, etc. So feel free to vent all you need to. If you didn't need to vent, etc. then I would be more concerned about your mental health.
Again, I am so very sorry for all the losses you and your family have experienced.
