As I pass the full parking lot at the funeral home on my daily commute, I am reminded that no matter how stressful I think my day has been, at least I am not on my way to a funeral.

When I was 5 or so my mom would tell me to lie down before she tied my tie and I just now realized at the age of 19 that she did this because she's a funeral director.

I wrote "thank you" notes to everyone who had attended the funeral as if it had been a baby shower.

I was a row behind her at his wake, two at his funeral, and across the table at the dinner but I never told her I slept with him while they were dating.

Later, I would realize that I cried harder when my dog died than I did at Mom's funeral.

would you put a name on this?
It wasn't until the eulogy ended that I realized I had been thinking about porn instead of listening.

I couldn't think of a polite way to say that I didn't want to look at her mother's corpse, so I buried my face in my husband's shoulder as we filed past the coffin.
