Death

The other day I was chatting with a coworker...she's a few years older than I am. I think I'm one of the youngest old people I know. I wonder why. She's kind of chill and conservative and super responsible. Anyway, she's a classic conservative, democrat, Midwestern woman. Born and raised in a small town by 2 parents whose parents immigrated from Poland. (not that that matters) The only thing that's not typical about her is that she's not religious, at all. You live and die and that's that. No heaven, no hell, just done. She said, "I wonder if you know when you die, that you've died." Curiously, I had just read an article about that!

So, don't say mean things around someone who just died! It could come back to haunt you.
She didn't really like this idea, that you know when you've died. I don't either. Creepy.
