I don't belong to it, but a Thursday 13

My friend, L, does the Thursday 13. I don't, but today I will do one for her, since she is busy with the practicalities of death. Yes, her MIL passed away yesterday.
So, for those who have never experienced close loss, 13 Things about Loss, Grieving and Bereavement
1) No one 'handles' death. You deal one way or another.
2) Grief takes many forms, and some are not nice or pretty.
3) Your life has changed forever, and will never be the same.
4) The world goes on.
5) Coffins come in way too many styles.
6) Make sure you talk about end of life wishes before the time comes.
7) The funeral isn't the hardest part.
8) The calling hours aren't the hardest part.
9) The day after the funeral, when everyone goes home, is the hardest part.
10) Kids grieve.
11) Hospice has great grief programs, for adults and kids.
12) Knowing the funeral director really helps.
13) There is happiness again eventually.
