At least, they can in my experience. I come back to this blog from time to time. At first it was both to see if you were posting again and to check on how you might be doing. Now, though, it's almost completely to check on how you might be doing. I hope you're out there somewhere, healing and helping your family heal. I empathize and sympathize with your loss, and I hope you're okay.

I don't know you, but I am very sorry to hear about your loss. I got very teary-eyed reading your account of your father's funeral. It was beautifully written. I sincerely hope you and your family are doing better.<br /><br />I lost my mom in October of 2010. I understand how hard it is for family members in the aftermath. I also understand that this was the last post made. This is something I fully understand, as I'm a writer as well, and lost my will to write anything for two years. I do hope that someday you are able to return, and I wish you the best of luck with your other writings as well.<br /><br />Take care.Iphigenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18157013694445950145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290232855972075144.post-17735129636185051132012-11-17T23:35:21.145-05:002012-11-17T23:35:21.145-05:00Hi.

Is this thing done? Should I take it off my favourites bar and stop checking three or four times a week? I know you really do have a lot on your plate right now, but this is a question that needs answering. I really enjoyed each one of your posts, and always looked forward to the next one. If there isn't going to be any more, it would be nice to know. Aside from that though, I hope you are doing well, and that everything is going great (I am really bad at wording sympathy, but I've been in a near identical situation, I can relate to a similar pain).sam "ocelot" donovanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01742352166648226693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290232855972075144.post-19821185632832569352012-03-14T16:57:29.410-04:002012-03-14T16:57:29.410-04:00Too soon, bro... too soon.Too soon, bro... too soon.Daniel Vaz Velhohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08290543011148820708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290232855972075144.post-85838855905089183022012-03-14T15:05:02.451-04:002012-03-14T15:05:02.451-04:00So, is the blog dead?

I just said yours was really corny sounding and not at all that interesting ._.' just something we've all already heard about, probably in pamphlets and from teens taking a philosophy class. Just like everything else you responded with. -feeds troll- <br /><br />And yes, I was saddened. Because there's this thing, this thing called sympathy that humans have, this magical thing where we remember even strangers are flesh and blood people with feelings and thoughts and ideas and dreams. This thing where bits of emotion left on some little corner of an insignificant internet spot are reminiscent of the ties that bind us and makes us similar. You don't need to be sad, you just need to be respectful. Even if it's just the internet, and even if you can't see or touch or even hear people, there's still a person somewhere responding to your rude comments and terribly cliche rambling about society and our ways. Now you don't need me and other nameless people teaching you about manners, do we? o.o You said you're a good five years past fifteen, so try to act like it. Just try.<br /><br />Nice closing :D Totally not like you made an argument for no reason to someone who is hurting. I really hope he doesn't see this cluster of comments from you, because it's probably the last thing he needs.

Eve..."It is not a matter of personal strength. Even the mightiest of people can fall after the death of a loved one. That she is having trouble with this right now is not a sign of fragility or weakness, it is a sign of her humanity.<br /><br />Emotions do not follow a logical path. They do not always make sense, nor do they have to, and people react differently to different things.<br /><br />A quick and short departure may be the ideal way for you, but others would find it cold and heartless. A long goodbye may be ideal for some, but still others would find them mushy and useless. Not everyone will have the same ideas, so it is important not to place value judgements based on one's own biases.<br /><br />Everyone must make their peace with death in their own way. Some do it quietly, some in ceremony, and some with grief-filled nights. No matter which way one goes about it, though, it is not weakness by any stretch of the imagination. "<br /><br /><br />Thanks for explaining. That does make alot of sense. I have a strong sense of morality so don't judge me wrong.<br /><br />Weakness is not just 'lack of muscles' weak, or 'lack of willpower' weak, or aging and weak immune system. <br /><br />But I have always seen 'relying on others' to be weakness... not emotions because emotions help us survive, well as long as they are not to powerful or to unbalanced. <br /><br />I think I can agree with you now that perhaps your mother isn't fragile or weak. Maybe she never relied on him and was self sufficient?

How about some kindness and sensitivity? "<br /><br />My intention was never to be rude.<br />But I can't show kindness to someone I don't know. Strangers.. I would step on a strangers skull and mash their brains for all I care but if I personally know them then that's a different story. <br /><br />Not caring for strangers is no big surprise or mystery, its the most common mindset I've come to find. <br /><br /><br />"middle class fifteen-year-old that's never had to deal to something as harrowing as death before, family or otherwise"<br /><br />Your off by 5 years. I've had my grand father die, though I never knew him. I have a father that doesn't care about me and the rest of my family is scattered so your right. I have never felt loss due to death of human being.... but I have seen my dog die that I loved and had for over 3 years.<br /><br />So I'm not completely ignorant. But I hate seeing women portrayed as weak, when they can usually be as strong as men. And please stop with the Ad Hominems guys. If you can't make a argument without one then you really need to re-educate yourself.<br /><br /><br />"and a really bad attempt at social commentary"<br /><br />On the contrary, social commentary is a perfect distraction. Which is a good way to deal with sadness or any emotion. To distract oneself... Hell people waste alot of time on distractions that draw us away from developing ourselves spiritually and loose touch with ourselves.<br /><br /><br />"Although I don't know you nor anyone close to you personally, I was deeply saddened when you announced your father's passing.
