six feet under

So I finished watching the 1st seaon of six feet under the other day. I have to say that I really love it....but at the same time it's one of the saddest shows. I can;t say that I am very good with death. Even though I am surrounded by it I have troubel watching it. Especially when children and babies die.

So there were 2 episodes during this season when it happened. The first dealt with a six year old shooting himself. Made me upset but not enough to cry. I don't have guns and zombiemom won't let one in the house. Though it was sad to watch the mother fall to pieces and just give up. I know how that is.

The second one dealt with SIDS. 3 week baby goes to sleep and never wakes up. All thoose emotions came back like a river. All I could think about was that at least they got 3 weeks and I didn't even get 3 min with Helen. Also in that episode the funeral make up guys wife was preg so he could barely perform his functions on the baby himslef. It was one of the saddest things I have ever had to watch. I made it through the episode, barely.

I remember what it was like to be in the funeral home stairing at Helen. I will never forget it. I remember how beautiful she was. I remember how peaceful she was like a sleeping little angel. I remeber how cold her skin was when I kissed her goodbye. If I could prevent anyone slse from going through that I would but I can't DEATH just happens.

The show brought up another subject. When your spouse dies you are a widow or a widower. WHen your parenst die you are an orphan. There isn't a word for someone who looses their child. I guess nobody could come up for a word that could fit something that upset and depressing.
