Dito The negativity of small minded people is the very thing that perpetuates grief. "Shame, shame, shame!" I don't like that word. I prefer humility. Wallowing in the fact that we are all imperfect does nothing for anyone. Accepting it, getting over it, and getting on with life - living as fully to our potential as we humanly can - is a worthwhile endeavour. A religious comment here: While feelings of shame can, do, and
should arise at having 'trespassed against' one another, I doubt that God is more pleased with an ashamed person than a humble one.
My first thought at reading Dave's post...well aside from shock...was Wow! If I'm gonna go, I can't think of a better way than to die shakin' what my momma gave on a dance floor, laughing and living life to the fullest, with someone that I dearly love laughing and living right beside me (and for those of you who might be confused about who I mean, I mean my husband. :rollseyes ).
The fact that he died doing something he loved probably still comes as cold comfort to his family. Being the surviving spouse is bad, no matter how you look at it. Dave, if you're talking to her again, please let her know that there are a whole lot of people she's never met who are sending her their thoughts and prayers.
