As Dee believes we have many lives and we are often in different lifetimes with the same people but in different relationships she always says when someone dies “Better to die than to suffer!”
I agree with this wholeheartedly, however, it can be a very insensitive thing to say to someone who has just lost someone or is grieving.
I remember my friends dog dying, a dog that I spent many many days with as I worked for my friend and her dog would lay under my desk all day. Mum was cleaning her teeth in the bathroom when I walked in in tears & told her that the dog had died. She turned to me & said “Better to die than to suffer!” and turned back to the task in hand. This was quite upsetting as mum used to be really sympathetic if you were upset, she still is if it’s something other than death lol
Category: Catch Phrases
Laughter etc
One of mum’s favourite catch phrases is “Laughter is the best Medicine!” (she actually believes that she invented this one) or “If it makes you smile/laugh, it’s a winner!”
About going to her day centre & Singing For The Brain. Mum doesn’t want to go (I think due to anxiety of not remembering what it looks like etc) but I remind her that she comes out saying “I feel 10 years younger & 6 foot tall!”
Burps
If you burp or pass wind mum will always say “Better out than in!”
I’m wondering if she got this from Shrek?????
