So tomorrow I have a paper due for class and I can not get motivated to start this paper. This is not like me, yea normally I procrastinate and wait till the last minute, but I always get my work done. I think I work best under a little pressure. But right now, I don't even care if I start this paper. I have up to a week to turn it in late and only get marked down one grade and that is looking to be my best option. Sorry to ramble, but I sat down at four o'clock to start this paper and just said the hell with it at eight o'clock, just a couple of sentences of writing during a four hour block of time. Has anyone else experienced this-want to do nothing and who the hell cares attitude? Maybe it has to do with me working today at the funeral home location where my dad's funeral was less than a month ago, maybe my dad's death is finally taking toll on me and freezing my mind and my ability/want to function. Tomorrow I have to talk to my professor and explain the reason for not having my paper done, I hate to use my dad's death as an excuse, but really what else am I suppose to say. It is the truth, my dad did die and now I am left to deal with my grief. I hate when people ask how I am doing, they really don't want to listen, so I just try and pacify them with a sweet answer and say I am doing alright. Bull shit am I doing alright, MY DAD DIED SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY AND AT AGE 57, how the fuck do you think I am doing?! I could take an incomplete for this class, but then I would have to play catch up at a later date, so I should suck it up and finish this semester. I just hope to pass this class with a minimal grade and move on! My dad would want me to finish school and not give up, so that is what I intend to do, just with little detours along the way like turning in my paper late. Better late then never! I love you Freddy and miss you every day!

Hi Stella. I am so sorry about your loss. I am in a similar situation. My fiancee of 55 died on Feb. 11 unexpectedly with a heart attac, at the age of 55 and I am so angry and depressed and am a Christian but still have not found the comfort that I am seeking. My only peace, especially when it first happened was to be with him. This is so hard for me, and while I listen to what people may say to comfort me, read my Bible, and have people pray with and for me, I am still so sad and crying as I write this. This is the worst time in my life, and I just want him back. I try to find peace in thinking that I will see him again, and that does console me some, but I feel like if I would have been there that I could have called 911. He was alone. I also feel like I should have convinced him to take a surgery that he had put off for 6 months. I also have a paper that is due on March the 19th that I have little interest in beginning. I love Tshombe so much and the more I think about him the more I hurt.

Assumptions

An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true.  Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions.  This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More
