Today, it's the first day in 14 weeks I've got dressed up and gone out anywhere other than to go food shopping. Shame it’s to attend a funeral. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I attended the wrong funeral. I spent twenty minutes trying to hide and walk away without being too conspicuous. FML
Today, an elderly man came into my place of work wearing a nice suit. I commented, saying said he looked nice and asked what the special occasion was. He was going to a funeral. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he couldn't spend the day with me as he had his grandmother's funeral. Lonely, I went shopping and I bumped into his mum having lunch with his 'dead' grandma. FML
Today, I attended my father’s funeral. I have the week off work, and one of my colleagues is using this time to make a play for my job. I’m not supposed to be checking emails, so I can’t call them out on it until I get back, by which time it may be too late. FML
Today, it was my one-year anniversary with my girlfriend, but instead of celebrating, we had to attend a family funeral with a bunch of people who "don't agree with our lifestyle." To make matters worse, I received my first ticket on the way there. FML
Today, it was my birthday. It was also the only day my family wanted to hold the graveside funeral for my grandmother, who passed last week. FML
Today, I saw my dad for the first time in almost five years, at his funeral. FML
Today, after I attended the funeral service of a good friend last Sunday, tomorrow I'm going to the funeral of my uncle, and last night my mother just told me she has Covid. Triple whammy. Gonna mask up, stay my distance, and pay my respects. FML
Today, my friend had to leave work early for a funeral. As he was on his way out, I wanted to say something. All I could think of was, "Have fun!" FML
Today, while serving a rather large party at the restaurant where I work, I mentioned that the soup of the day was "to die for". After the hosts gave me weird looks, it dawned on me that the reason they were wearing all black is because they've just come back from a funeral. FML

My condolences. In times like this, it seems everything feels more intense - even getting dressed for an occasion.

Would you rather be getting dressed for your own funeral?

Did you post this from inside the coffin?

How about after the funeral taking a nice walk outside in a park or “lively” area and take in the beauty. Appreciate for the moment that you are alive. And that you can enjoy dressing up, and enjoy beautiful scenery. Take in the flowers, and if necessary, let yourself grieve as well. It’ll probably give you a bit better feeling and help for the tough road ahead. And try to dress up and take frequent walks. It will help with any depression from the isolation as well as loss, and you’ll look good while on a stroll. Plus, its less likely to get you sick than an indoors public place. So inhale the beauty around you. Make you you take into account your beauty.
