focemal   10 #52 Posted October 28, 2017 In reference to someone that has died in Sheffield I'd never say "he's in a better place" in case they thought I meant Leeds.  In keeping with the monty python theme - BLASPHEMER!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
TimmyR Â Â 10 #53 Posted October 28, 2017 I think people don't like to refer to death by name because they fear it. But why do people fear death? I love my life but I do feel that death will be somewhat of a relief. The process of death I fear but not the end result. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Just stopped breathing very slowly as we stood and watched. All four of my grandparents did the same - basically as their failing organs finally packed in the heart etc just stopped whilst they slept (due to sedation).  My uncle on the other hand exploded which was quite alarming I admit.

ratter71   10 #59 Posted October 28, 2017 "Gone to Rose Cottage". Now there's one that's very open to confusion... especially as there's a tea room in Castleton called Rose Cottage!  More worryingly theres a nursing home at Halfway called Rose Cottage!  ---------- Post added 28-10-2017 at 12:26 ----------   One thing that gets me is when a DEATH is announced, it's always always described as "passed away peacefully" surrounded by their loving family, from my observations it is rarely peacefully, some times it is god awful for the deceased AND their family.  Angel1.  Reminds me of Bob Monkhouse:  I want to die like my father, peacefully in his sleep, not screaming and terrified, like his passengers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
