Once again, here are some of my favorite comments on death, grieving, and funerals culled from Twitter tweets. Some are funny, some touching, some inane, all honest human responses.

   Gonna head to the cemetery to
   visit my brother's grave. Alcohol
   will be consumed. Is there any
   other way to deal? I don't think so.10:15 AM Jul 9th via Twitter for BlackBerry®

   What a beautiful day. How good to
   be able to do a eulogy that gets the
   grieving people laughing in joy along
   with their tears.8:18 PM Jul 2nd via web

    @pamslim I think it's about making
    human connections with the humans
    in the audience. Laughing (& grieving)
    together = human cement.9:17 AM Jun 18th via Seesmic in reply to pamslim

    A wonderful obituary of my Dad in
    The Oregonian. But I wish it was a
    profile, not an obituary. http://bit.ly/bL8Brf11:52 PM Jun 17th via TweetMeme

    Yes - there is definitely a grieving
    process to parenting a spec needs
    child - there is a loss of the child you
    thought they would be #tck8:26 AM Jun 17th via TweetChat

    Arrived at the house and tradition
    demands that the men-folk and
    women-folk are separated for the
    grieving; it is a very weird thing indeed.8:02 AM Jun 16th via txt
