I spent most of yesterday going to a funeral of a friend, and a lot of today wondering what to write about it.
Why do I have to write anything? I have barely mentioned her here. There'd need to be thousands of words, or none at all.
I grieved. Grief is an emotion that some of us forget for years - but suddenly it wells up inside, unprotected - savage, selfish, unmediated.

Embrace it, feel it, remember it. But also remember the happy times, those are what keep you going. Sorry for your loss. (((((((x))))))))))))))

I think I remember you mentioning her. It was a long illness, yeah?
Sorry, hon xxxx

Pro Yes, it was a long illness, also cancer - but she kept it from her friends, who included the person I have written about, who this week had some bad news from her hospital, and couldn't face going to the funeral. x

Sometimes the problem with being here is that you feel you have to explain every element of something different from "the usual" that you're feeling here.
Whereas, in fact, you don't.
But that doesn't meant that people here don't understand.
