  • You know how some people have a sympathetic gag reflex if someone is throwing up? That’s me with crying at funerals. Once someone else gets going it’s hard for me to keep it together.

    To cope, I crack jokes in my head because it’s easier to fight back laughter than tears, so I concentrate on that.

    Basically, try to find something else to focus on instead of all the emotions, but if the emotions come out, that’s all right - it’s a funeral, emotional outbursts are normal.

    I put a S-biner on my Jeep key for the summer because my wife liked to drive it with the top & doors off & girl clothes don’t have reap pockets. She proceeded to take the key off of the quick release and attach it via the split ring to her car keys, airpod case, and little clutch purse so she wouldn’t lose it.

    I explained that she could just unclip the key & she said “I did, but I still had to hook it to my stuff.” When I explained that it unhooks from both sides, leaving the key on the clip so she could have just clipped it on, that was “too hard” and I was “being complicated”.
