DrDawkinstein Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Half joke, half serious... I was about 12 years old and at a Bisons game with my dad. Hot blonde comes walking up the aisle and with my 12 year old hormones, I'm basically entranced and staring at her all the way up. My dad leans over and says "Just remember - someone, somewhere, is sick of ***** that." It was kinda surprising since my dad never even swore around us growing up, let alone say something so crass. But he was right. And it helped me keep a perspective of not always chasing the next hot piece of ass, and that if the fire was dying a little in my current relationship that it is a natural part of being with someone for a long time, and you need to work at it.

Golden*Wheels Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 (edited) Best actual advice I got was when my mom died. She has brain and lung cancer, and I helped take care of her with my grandma (I did nights, grandma did days), and I was tired. I was done, I was out of gas. I have some beef with my brother over how little he did to help, and just didn't want to go to the funeral. I was ready to move on with my life (I thought) and just didn't want any drama. I don't know if I actually would have not gone, but I know I was considering it. I mentioned this to my dad, who had been divorced from my mom for several years at that point. My dad explained to me that funerals are really important. You'll see all these people (or even just one) that cared about the person you also cared about. You'll share stories and you'll share experiences. You'll remember. And even though it hurts, sharing those experiences is super-healing and can help bond you with others, so that the person who is gone is STILL making an impact. When many people from many years ago in my mom's 'old life' showed up to honor her, it was the one of the most uplifting things I have ever gotten to experience, and it helped me heal. I am really not sure that if I had not discussed this with my dad, EVEN IF I had decided to go, I would have gone in with the attitude I needed to have to have it be a positive experience. I had not been to an (edit: family) funeral previous to that except as a kid, and that is just a whole different experience. Sadly, I lost my best friend in the middle of Covid. His folks could not have a funeral. A year later, his mom had a ceremony for him, very small. I was very conflicted as I thought I had moved on and this felt somewhat like picking at a scab that was healing fine already. Well, my dad's advice came to me, and I knew I had to go. It was not easy, especially with the time delay, but I got to remember my friend in the best way possible, with other people who valued his life and his spirit. I know this is something most folks know already I guess, but I didn't. I'm glad my dad was around to explain it to me.
