well when my grandparents died (not all at the same time in an event orchestrated by me)
i wasn't sitting on the net telling people about how they were going very soon, that's all. i had more important things to do related to them dying and not me filling my weeks beaker quota

I wasn't telling everyone
but I didn't see my nan for the last 10 years of her life. 8 of them she couldn't remember who anyone in her family was, so not sure what to make of that... "being there" only goes so far when it's utterly utterly pointless on the practical side of things.

in times of personal tragedy
what could be more important that finding solace and comfort among friends?

Pretty much the first thing I did was post on here when someone close to me died, like, within an hour.
Eaiser than facing a house full of people, most of them in a horrific state.

I also took a rediculous amount of morphine, like, a fist full.

i was on tramadol when i broke my arm
they were nice. morphine was better in hossy, i lost days on that. and also when they left the canister of laughing gas next to my bed.
