How did your N deal with death? I've been doing a lot of reflecting lately and remember how I heard about my colleages' death 4 yrs ago.
I worked with her for 5 yrs. She was a mentor and friend. Someone I had a lot of respect for; taught me a lot about my profession. Her kidneys were failing and she was told she only had a few years to live. I visited her home and made dinners for she and her husband while she was unable. Only a few months had passed when one evening I sat down on the couch at home getting the laptop out. N came into the living room; stood at the top of the steps and said "oh yea, M___ is dead". Then he shrugged and, out of the corner of his mouth said "sorry! I almost forgot". Then went downstairs to work out!
OMG. How could I not have seen this very clear warning sighn!
Death is just another word
Let me tell you
They simply don't care...
no compassion
