When my mother died, I couldn't believe some of the things falling out of my dad's mouth. Fortunately, years in nursing and dealing with newly bereaved families taught me how powerful shock can be, even when the death is not only expected, but hoped for in a person wracked by disease and pain.

Both my parents opted for cremation and adamantly opposed any sort of funeral, so I wasn't subjected to god squad relatives saying tacky things they thought should be comforting. However, if I'd had to get through funerals, I knew where that stuff would come from, also.
