Dealing with the aftermath of a death

[Uben]

8. I'm sorry for your loss.....

Losing your mom is a tough row to hoe. I lost my dad in 1991 and my wife a couple of months ago. I'm just starting to see the pain of losing my wife ease up a bit. I no longer have tears everyday, but some days I still have lots of them. Losing mom is gonna be tough, too. I still almost hope I go first, but I hope thats 20 or so yrs from now. She is 78 and I am 57. I actually sent my wife's body to a different funeral home in town, but after discussing pricing with them, I had her transferred to one 30 miles away. The difference was about $4000. And both local funeral homes were in cahoots on their pricing, so I just bad-mouth em every chance I get. I hate to see people getting taken advantage of in their time of greatest sorrow.
