Reply #16: I use the word, "died". [View All]

[AirmensMom]

As a matter of fact, when my dad died almost four years ago, I was pretty surprised to hear my sister tell everyone that he had "passed away". Even to me, she says, "When Dad passed away ..." I mean, this is someone who uses the "F" word in front of my Mom! :shrug: I dunno ... maybe "died" makes it sound worse. But dead is dead -- how can it be made better by using a different word?

Just so you all know -- when I die, I won't be offended if you say "died". :silly: :crazy:
