For those that don't know I recently got a job as Care Manager at a large residential home.

Due to the nature of my job I have to deal with death frequently. People die and that's the way it is.

What I have found is that staff and residents will joke and have great humor around the subject of dying and yes I guess it does bring a smile to my face, the way things are put. I'm interested in human behaviour and making humor out of death helps but it's such black humor, it comes to us all!

The thing is, it's not really funny. God is up there playing Sims with us all. Is it really the end when we die? Each of us has a different story and yet we all end up dead. How sad.

I'd be interested in points of view that are supportive of course! Thank you.
