Reply To: I don't know if I can handle this . . .

takamamash – I like your vort! I sat shiva three times in 6 years and people kept saying to me, “This should be the last time you sit”, “You should have only simchos” etc. I told some of them that the only way for this to be the last time I sit, is for me to be next! How about a wish that I should have a 50 year break before the next time. I think it took people aback because they meant well, but it was certainly making me feel uncomfortable to hear it as a brocha so many times.
