Mourning

• Always go to the funeral - discusses the place that funerals play in our lives, and how going to funerals is just one part of doing things we don't always want to do because they're good for someone else.
• We say stupid things in the freakout tree by Ferrett Steinmetz

years ago my therapist taught me the term STUG (subsequent temporary upsurge of grief) to understand why/how random waves of grief will hit out of nowhere months or years after traumatic loss so now i am passing this word on to whoever else needs it.
