I remember reading this for the first time the day before my grandfather passed. It’s something he would’ve said had he had the chance.
I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. ‘Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death.
LOL
It bothers me…
That when someone dies, everyone writes to the family on facebook and all say the same thing. “I’m so sorry for your loss. Stay strong. I’m praying for you.” Seriously, they all say something along those lines.
Praying isn’t going to bring him back. Shit happens, life happens. Death is part of that. Yes, it’s very unfortunate that some people leave at a young age. It really is sad, I understand that. Praying isn’t going to do anything about that. You’re praying for the family? For what? Strength? They have to be strong. They have no option but to be strong right now. I know it’s all well intentioned, but seriously.
You’re sorry for their loss? You’re so sorry you wrote about it on facebook? If you cared, you’d call. You’d make sure they were okay. You wouldn’t write on facebook. Maybe you know how it feels, maybe you don’t. But you being sorry isn’t going to bring them back. What exactly is there to feel sorry for? Unfortunately, it happens.
I don’t know. It just bothers me that everyone’s comments revolves around prayer. Yes, I am religious and I believe in the power of prayer, but call the family and tell them you’ll be there if you need anything and leave it alone.
Someone close to me has passed away and it made me feel like shit when everyone constantly wrote about it on facebook. I didn’t want to think about it, I didn’t want to be reminded of it every second. I wanted everyone to stop talking about it. Everyone I know who’s dealt with a loss has said the same thing.
Feel free to disagree, but I don’t want to hear about it. respect my opinion, I respect yours.
I agree wholeheartedly. Though when I went through the same experience a couple of months back, I already knew what to expect from people. I chose not to make it known to too many, which helped. By repeating cliché after cliché, they’re actually proving to be counterintuitive. Inconsiderateness through assumed benevolence. Regardless of your intentions, there are more effective ways of conveying your support; that being, showing it. Attending wakes, funerals, or simply being there to talk to the friend or relative to help them get their mind off of the matters at hand. Almost anyone who has witnessed the death of a loved one will tell you all they want is an escape. If you feel the need to show your support by saying something, the only appropriate diction in my opinion would be extending your condolences to the bereaved.
Trufax bro.
Tell me my dear, can a heart still break once it’s stopped beating?
Welp. Only the good die young.
In regards to starvation, yeah; but it requires external stimuli to sustain wakefulness for prolonged periods of time. The human body will shut itself down when it needs to, but if you’re being tortured for instance, or kept awake in a lab, you’ll die before the 15 day mark. Dehydration, though, will kill you within three days in a tropical climate, and within ten in a controlled, cool environment. So this is inaccurate.
