I doubt that people like *Tatiana* have ever lost loved ones before… Or she could be from a culture that adheres to strict mourning “rules of conduct” – i.e. a loved one dies… wear ONLY black for a year; remain in seclusion for 3 months, etc.
-
Mind you, I don’t know if anyone really does this [or similar things] but I wouldn’t be surprised if it happens somewhere within some families.
-
Death is a part of life. Over the years, I’ve lost my father, mother & brother… I’ve gone through various degrees of grief. My father’s was the first death I’d ever experienced, & while other members of my family wept openly, I did not. I went about the days “normally” & was watched with… I don’t know, confusion & anger. My mom seemed to understand & said to those who criticized: “We are lucky in dealing with it now; she is worse off, in shock & at some point she will break.”
-
Six months after my father’s death I had a breakdown of sorts (didn’t require treatment) – I couldn’t stop crying at the drop of a hat for 3 months. Delayed reaction. But I had my family for support; they got me through it.
-
No one needs to barricade themselves in their homes keening & pulling out their hair for a year to grieve the loss of loved ones… You go on with life & believe they’re no longer in pain, weighed down by problems they had in life, etc., & will always be in your heart. As my dad once said: “The dead no longer have to pay taxes or ANY expenses – Heaven is free.”

Very sad. I think I am more upset at his passing than any other recently diseased star. I think his potential was so untapped. He did such an amazing job in Brokeback…he really said so much without talking at all.

I think this movie looks really good. I actually can’t wait to see it. It is just a bonus Heath is in the film.
