Your wondering about how many ukuleles and fishing rods packed on top of you had me wondering about my sewing machines and fabric stash. There won't be room for me! - Awesome farewell, @AllyJay
I wonder how many ukuleles and fishing rods they can pack on top of me?? ;)
We definitely need a decent sense of humour to deal with what we have to deal with! Specially flashing our boobs at all & sundry! - Must have been very moving @AllyJay.
- Oh indeed...My beloved brother died at the South African National Skydiving Championships many years ago. My mother wanted Amazing Grace played at his funeral and wanted lillies or somesuch on his coffin. My sister-in-law and myself agreed that he would be spinning like a top in his box if we did that, so we placed his rig (parachute) over his coffin and played Queens Another One Bites the Dust. All his mates (about 600 of them present) as well as his four children agreed that he would be having a good chuckle at that. After the ceremony, his parachute that was draped over his coffin was ceremoniously folded by his other three team mates (he was in a four way when he bounced...sorry another skydving terminology commonly used by other meatbombs (yet another...we all know the realities of major f**kups), whilst Elton John's Don't let the Sun Go Down On Me was played. The packed rig was then presented to his widow.
- Afraser no need to apologise we all definitely learn unhealthy and healthy coping strategies going through this bloody roller coaster ride.....
Dark humour can often help us cope with the un nice things we endure through this ride. Apologies and I do not want to cause offence - as this is not the uplifting tone of most of the inspirational material here - but it made me laugh!! I think nearly all of us develop coping mechanisms (although some may be quite healthy and probably sanity inducing!) and personally I am all for a bit of dark humour.
Saw this and thought about our struggles after BC diagnosis- Saw this on an Instagram acvount that promotes diversity.
- Hoping you have the best support from your family and friends during your treatment .... and after ..... xx
and if you are having a really really bad time of it just now ..... just go back to my favourite saying ..... the one in the middle is particularly effective when something goes wrong unexpectedly - no matter the situation! ;)
