She died of an accidental overdose combined with arterial blockages. It wasn’t expected.

I lost my spouse one year ago on June and it still feels like it was only yesterday. I agree, too soon, but everyone’s different, I guess.

As an atheist who has been through a similar experience to Mr. Oswalt, it’s not about the other person waiting for you ‘on the other side’, it’s about not physically being able to view another person that way in the wake of such an abrupt ending to a loving relationship. He got a lot of mileage in the press over his…

She died suddenly.

At least one full year to respect the deceased’s family and your own kid, ferchrissakes.

First, I’m sorry for your loss.

I came here to say exactly this.

Agreed. And the gushy social media posts make the hair stand on the back of my neck!

This it it, perfectly articulated.

Um when would she have told him this?

Wow the crazies come out of the woodwork quick. It’s fine if you disagree, I welcome that. I’m just old fashioned and was raised to think differently. To ME (Please note I’m not making a grand statement about humanity as a whole) I believe there are certain problems that arise from moving on too quickly.

I’m sure…

Not the person you replied to, but to me it feels .. arbitrary? Like when your goldfish or hamster dies and you just go out and buy a new one. You probably love the new goldfish and will treat it just fine, but it suggests that one goldfish is pretty much the same as any other goldfish. (Which, to be fair, is kinda…

I have lost two friends of mine over the last 5 years, and in both cases their spouses started dating within a year. It just seems so soon! And in my heart I am judging them a little for ‘getting on’ so quickly. Is it just me? Is this normal? I certainly dont expect them to wear black and mourn FOREVER, but maybe a…

Nope, too soon. It’s none of my business and I’m glad they’re all happy but all the hair stands on the back of my neck when this happens

I legit cheered when Jean growled, “Those FUCKERS,” and then a bit later was pouring herself a giant glass of wine and talking about how it was all bullshit.

Her evolution was something to behold. I mean, Theresa’s was too, but more of Jean’s transformation was something to behold.

Child advice: no one touches her where her bathing suit covers and no one with out you knowingor without telling her why first. (and its good if you can say “I’m changing your poopy diaper now!”) We made the doctors tell our boys what they were going to do and why. (“I’m giving you a shot so you won’t be sick.”)

For Brother Bob, I naturally assumed the same. That this was his brother. They said that he would bring in cops and politicians to do things to the girls, too. Again, I assumed that one of those cops was his brother. Maskell seemed like someone who was really good at getting people to do things they didn’t want to do.…

This was SO GOOD. I want Abbie & Gemma to have their own detective show a la Cagney & Lacey.

I think they figured he was a priest, so he must be naive, and told him it was her vagina in the bag. He seemed genuinely freaked out by it even now.

I definitely took that as the cops fucking with him, passing off something else as human flesh to try and provoke a reaction
