miserable fucker
I realise I haven't been around all that long in the grand scheme of things, so please forgive the somewhat weighty subject matter... but has anyone experienced death very closely lately and, if so, can anyone put into words how it's made them feel? I ask as last Friday a friend of mine was laid to rest (bowel cancer, super aggressive, father of three; dead at 36 and a more humble, family-oriented bloke you are never likely to meet), and after that on the same afternoon my dad was rushed into hospital where he died just before midnight. And I can honestly say that all I feel really - for the moment at least - is cold and numb. Please understand that I don't ask this in a snowflakey 'please pay attention to me, I'm so sad, I deserve all the attention' kind of way - you can all tell me to get fucked if you're so inclined. I'm just genuinely interested as to whether anyone else has experienced similar and whether they think that watching gore has desensitised them to death in the 'real world'.
