Howard, you have my condolences. I lost my mother to cancer 6 years ago next month. Even though you sort of expect it, it's still a shock when you get that phone call.

My Mom, brother and I exhibited no sorrow in front of the funeral director; rather, we were cracking jokes in abundance. This lighthearted attitude continued through the many phone calls I had to make last night. Black humor is a distinct trait of the Fein family.

I wish I could say the same for my brother. I realize that everybody handles the passing of a close family member differently, but my brother dealt with it the opposite way. If I tried to crack the smallest of jokes, he flew off the handle. He even had to enroll in Gilda's Club, which features a support group that helps deal with the loss of someone to cancer. But like I said, everybody handles grief differently.
