Life and death should both be celebrated whenever it is possible. For the record when I die... I want people to raost me...not over an open flame...but definitly roast in the comedic sense. And I want people to have to walk past my standing body on the way to the bathroom. I'll even hold the hors d'oeuvres tray. Sorry I’m so late to the after-life party…but count me in.

We did a lot of crying on our part before hand and there was a lot going on before I had said this to him. Everything was so low, no one could find anything positive or good to say for days on end. I couldn't take the solemn mood for too much longer before this finally came out of my mouth. But I've always been one to try to find the light, it's hard to stay solemn for so long, especially with children around.

That being said, and I certainly mean no offense to your husband, but I would find it a disservice to not remember the entire person not just a portion of them. If they were a happy-go-lucky soul then that should be honored also. I'll be sure to send you your Happy Trails enrollment package that way you can be assured that you'll be celebrated exactly how you'd like! ;) There is simply no right or wrong way to grieve, or even a time frame in which it should happen.

He's in the closet ya know? Can't we list "REAL-ationships" on Wiki? How does that work? I loved TC before he lost his marbles, but that shouldn’t be any surprise. He’s in the closet ya know?

My husband was a bit set back by me when his brother passed away two months ago from a very rapid and cruel death (pancreatic cancer). Of course I cared very much for him, he was so funny, and full of great sarcasm!!! When his memorial service came up I made a comment about how I hate all the wailing and crying and how I just want to "celebrate" his life for HIM and about HIM and share all his funny stories. My husband drew the line in the sand and told me to just STOP right there and don't say anything else.... Like I was being disrespectful. On the contrary, I thought I was being completely respectful. His brother would have wanted us to laugh! When I die, I hope they send me to HAPPY TRAILS!!!! You are wonderful! I love your "out of the box" thinking!

We couldn't really go anywhere, and Sis in law backed out (at sis's wedding bro in law was "inducted" into the family that way) so my brother had to do HER shot too. Other members of the family (my dad's side) just sat there and smiled they KNEW why we were doing it , we don't explain, we don't make a HUGE production but we Celebrate and Honor him. I still tease Sis In Law that she needs to do he shot still. (don't blame her I REALLY wish grandpa drank something else.......but everytime I pour someone a Jack and Coke @ work I smile b/c for as LONG as I can remember grandpa would try to hand me HIS Jack & Coke telling me it was just coke...and I would tell HIM you could smell the Jack miles away !!! :) ) I was angry with him for a LONG time, b/c he told me they moved to Fla to make it "easier" on us when they died......I was Very close to both grandparents, and even spent my summers with them. It was NOT easier. But as much as I HATE Jack I smile lovingly @ it and keep a bottle of it at home.
