27-year-old kicks his friend out of his house after she says she’s scared of him because he didn’t cry at a family funeral: ‘I don’t want people around me who are scared of me.’
It’s upsetting when the people you love interpret your emotions through a negative lens. You can control your thoughts and your actions, but you really can’t control your emotions, especially when something as emotionally charged as the loss of a loved one happens.

Sports team member calls out friend for utilizing AI to write an entire memorial eulogy for someone close to their club, friend fails to see the moral issue: ‘[He] went on to say I was being disrespectful’
AI-generated images and texts are becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish from human-made digital and textual assets.

Aside from the fact that artificial intelligence will never match a human writer’s …

Husband invites himself on wife’s trip to Thailand to bury her grandmother despite having no connection to her: ‘[He] is viewing this as some kind of free vacation’
Everyone has different wishes for how they’d like to spend eternity. You might just want to go to the conventional route to please everyone and make matters simple.

Attending a parent’s funeral before you make it into your 20s is rough as it is. You thought you’d have more time—more memories to make—with your late mother or father.

Dad refuses to attend the funeral of his ex-mother-in-law because she offered to buy her daughter a house if she divorced him during the 34 years they were married: ‘My kids are pressuring me to go’
There is a lot of judgment surrounding how people deal with loss. You’re either too sad or not sad enough. I hate the idea that you can only take a week off work after losing someone extremely close to you. As a society, we really need to bring back formal morning periods, where women wear …

Funerals are a stressful time. You have to be focused on planning this huge event that appropriately honors the life of your loved one while trying to distract yourself from the grief that’s currently eating you alive. I have no idea how people can get through funeral speeches and songs without bursting into tears immediately. …

Nobody likes funerals. Apart from that one goth friend whose clothes are finally event-appropriate, there are very few people who get excited about attending a funeral–it’s sad, it’s morbid, and it’s a reminder of our own effervescence on earth. That’s why, if you’re ever invited to one, you literally HAVE TO go. Not for your …

‘Monster high students’: Goth teenager arrives at prom in a casket, commenters lose their minds
If you’re more than a few years out from high school like me, you might have forgotten that it is indeed prom season. Teens are arriving at their gymnasiums in jewel-toned mermaid gowns, trying not to sweat through their blowout while dancing to «Get Low» (or whatever teenagers listen to now), and wondering if they’ll go to Denny’s afterward. It’s a magical night. But more than …
