Reminiscing
This is a really terrible thing to discuss, but I need to get it off my chest.
Mike went to help clean out his grandma's apartment tonight. I didn't go with him - he didn't think it was appropriate for Zion to be there, and I agreed with him.
He came home with a carload of stuff. I have to say, I can understand the keepsakes - the statue he played with when he was little, the toys she had for Zion, the candle pillar thingies he liked - but I'm having a hard time using a dead woman's towels.
Is this weird or insensitive of me?
His dad also gave him some stuff from her freezer to bring home, and a whole bunch of canned goods. Now we're getting ready to eat a dead woman's food.
I love her, and I know it's what she wanted, but I'm still having a hard time with this concept. Isn't that strange? My family's the one that's so open about death, and I'm having the problem with the situation..
Ok, sorry if this post made me sound completely insensitive and weird. Just needed to get it off my chest.

I don't think it sounds insensitive, I think eating a dead woman's food would be weird. I guess it is logical, but odd none the less
Nope...I understand what you are talking about. There are some things that you can keep after someone dies and somethings that you can not.
For instance..my mother's best friend is dying of cancer right now. So Sarilee is cleaning things out of her house and giving it all away to people she wants to have her things.
Well she sent a bag of bras!!!! with my mother to give to me. Now these are beautiful nice expensive bras but I absolutely can not wear them! NONONONO! My mother was a bit upset with me until I started telling her that at Sarilee's funeral I could pat my left boob and tell everyone that Sarilee will always be close!
Sara, totally understand. I don't you think insensisitive at all. Kind of goes along to with not inheriting their bed.
