    Hamp, I have sympathy for you.. but I simply cannot have empathy. If the latter is what you're seeking... then I'm sorry to disappoint

    Why would someone that picture?

    Deplorable.

    Many people take pics of their deceased loved ones. There is nothing wrong with it, imho. It permits younger generations to observe the respect an elder was given for eternity. A death photo is the last image one may have to remember the life of the loved one.

    Personally, I have left legal instructions with my family that no death pictures are to be taken of me.

    If anyone wants to remember what I look like they will visit me while I am alive?

    Some ancient cultures would eat the flesh of their loved ones to preserve their spirit.

    They go through a hell of a lot of ketchup and mustard, though.

Grief makes you do weird things sometimes.

    I absoultrtly looked at my dad's open casket I'm saying why would I want to take a picture of it and look it later lmao

    My mom used to call in to Carl P. Mayfield's show on 103.3 WKDF in Nashville when I was about 3 or 4, and she would pretend to be an older black lady named Ruby. She would get all in their shit and have everybody rollin'. Eventually, she talked to Carl P. off-air and admitted that she was trollin' the whole time and that she was really an almost middle-aged white woman when they wanted to meet Ruby in person. We drove to the station and she brought the crew a few fudge pies. Mom was something else.

    I'm sorry for your loss Hamp. This too shall pass, and it may take a while and never truly go away but i know it diminishes with time as all pain tends to do.

    My heart genuinely goes out to you and yours. I mean it when I say, I wish I could trade places so your mom could be here with you (assuming shes not suffering, and actually wants to continue living), and well... Someone worthless like me could be dead rather than someone who loves and has family who loves her, and most likely a reason to keep living.

    I'm sorry it's so hard, especially with the timing too. It completely changed my world when my dad died. He was my best friend, and well... Only real parent I've had...only real family I've had, aside from my son, and a few close friends,and he was closer to me than all of them. I truly sympathize for what you're going through, Hamp. I wish I could do or say something to make it better, but... Unfortunately I can't... Some people say time heals all wounds... I not so sure about that, as I have a lot of wounds in my heart, including my dad dying, that still are yet to heal, but maybe with more time... I don't know.

    Be well, Hamp. I'm truly sorry this happened.

    I appreciate your thoughts, but one thing. Don't call yourself worthless. Hell, even if it's true, saying that is only going to make you feel more worthless. I've been dealing with self-esteem issues with my son for about a year now, and if there's one thing that I've learned it's that we all have value to someone in some way. Most of the time you determine your own worth to those people, and you'll do so according to how much you care for them and how far you'd be willing to go to make them happy. Be the kind of person that you would want to go as far is as needed to fulfill yourself.

    Anyway, thanks again for your thoughts. I'm grateful that this community is still here. We've all loved and lost quite a bit in the relatively short time that we've known each other. I doubt that I'll be drinking anything in the near future, but when I do I'm going to pour a little out for all the space niggas (and their alts) that have come into and gone out of our lives over the years.

    Hamp,
    Have you been getting any rest? Are the plans coming together for her services? Those plans can sometimes cause arguing among family members, hope that’s not the case for you.


    That story you told about your Mom is funny. She was a troll before being a troll was fashionable! Lol. Good woman👍🏻

    I have an awesome family. We've already made her arrangements and there's no worry about it. She'll be buried close to my grandmother and great grandmother and her father and more family than I even know. After all the stress and preparation for this moment I'm glad that we don't have to worry about paying for it of all things.

    I've been sleeping as much as I can. There's a lot of us in this house, so I'm sleeping a chair lol.

    My mom was amazing. She's the best person I've ever known. I'm glad that I got her humor.

    Humor is one of the coolest things we can get from our parents. It's like a little voice of personality from them that never goes away. Kind of cool how little personality quirks like that pass on. Your boys will probably end up with the same kind of humor as you and your mom if they don't have it already.

    My condolences my brother. That's some fucked up dogshit.

    My uncle passed away on my aunt's birthday, two days before mine. It's really tragic that those days are now forever covered in looming sadness. Fuck that.

    I hope you can deal with it in normal fashion. Wish you all the best from the bottom of my heart.
