When my brother's son was still born last year and they had to make those final decisions for him, whether or not to name him, whether or not to hold him, whether or not to have photos taken of him to remember him by when all the deep grieving is long done, whether or not to cremate him, and how private or celebratory…

Thank you for saying that. It means a lot. Letting her go, not being able to be there while other people "handled" her, is something that I have always, always thought about. It's been nearly 14 years, but it's the kind of thing that never leaves you.

Wow. This is really really well written. I can honestly say that's it the best thing I've read in a while, both for content and style. I live next door to a funeral home, and I've been thinking of taking up a job there on the weekends for the extra money(yay for school debt), and because for some strange reason I…

It just seemed wrong to not look at them—to toss them in like they never existed, like it was easier to pretend they were medical waste, hardly worth a second thought.

This was a really great article. Very interesting and respectful.

A long, long time avo my baby died.in utero. Your excellent piece of writing made me cry, yet feel at peace with letting the hospital cremate her. After 32 years, I finally know what happened to her and I am at peace with it. Thank you for thus.

WHAT DOES THAT TWEET EVEN MEAN?? HOW HARD IS JADEN TRIPPING?

Ugh. What an utter ass blossom.

Hawke hit the nail on the head when he articulated the sadness that other people couldn't make Williams happy - even though he made the people around him happy. This has been bothering me but I didn't know how to express it.

"Are you out of the greys on Jezebel? Because if you're not, I would find that quite crippling. I cannot be seen with a grey."

OK I know it looks like she really overthought this, but actually she didn't think it through. Asking how many vaginas I've touched, but not being specific. With my fingers? My mouth? My genitals? My songs?

Seriously, thank you.

And that terrifying statistic that you guys posted earlier comes to life.

Yeah I was reading this thinking hmmm, well my rape isn't in that number, I wonder how many others aren't...

First, let me say this to be clear that she is not an actress. Second, if you don't know the show or who the person is why would you make such a broad and blanket statement?

Oh, please. You clearly know nothing of this woman and her vile, attention-seeking behavior. She wasn't fired because her employer refused to accommodate her health needs; she was fired because she's wholly unpleasant and loathed by fans and castmates alike.

She'll definitely shake up the View, but I'd rather see Rosie Perez on Jeopardy.
