Today was my Uncle's wake and it was really hard. After the 4 hour event I overheard one distant family member say "I really need a drink". Honestly, at first I was jealous. I went out dinner after with my brother who is out of town and he ordered a few beers and I didn't. I wasn't jealous anymore. I think what was helpful to me in this situation was the passing of a little time and physically relocating to a different situation and being around different people. I needed to physically place some distance from a sad situation and I never drank with my brother. The funeral is tomorrow....but that is tomorrow and today is still today.
