I think people just get really weird when it comes to death. Itâs an uncomfortable subject and sometimes people donât look at it as objectively as youâre being in your posts because of cultural/religious backgrounds about how to speak of/treat the dead.
thank you! youâre absolutely right---everybody deals with death differently and processes it differently, this woman and i just have this weirdly terminated friendship on top of it.
idk for me iâve spent a lot of time processing death and sickness in my personal life and i think my coping mechanism for it is to be really matter of fact but of course everyone has different ways to cope
from my perspective funerals should be for people who are there as support or for people who cared about the person who passed---as someone who is neither i wouldâve felt so inappropriate being there, but this woman does have a vastly different perspective than me and thatâs life
