SP Question: Attend a client's funeral or wake?

[vanperb]

I was watching an episode of Louie CK where someone he knew passed away and the only people that seemed to have mourned for him were a bunch of strippers at a club he frequented. I know it seems absurd but a lot of SP's do build really close friendships with their clients.

If you were notified about a client's passing or found out about it in some way, would you go to say your final farewell?

Funeral

If he was married hell no- how would you explain who you were to the family? That totally does against being discrete.

If he had no family and I was asked to attend, then possibly. Depends on the situation.

I also saw that episode, and if i remember correctly, the girls at the club didn't go to the funeral.
They were all at work when they were told and all mourned together at the club.

Ya uhm no.

Really, and why not ? Ran into an SP at a military funeral a couple years ago, she came over and stood beside me, place was crowded and I was a familiar face. Of course we spoke. She was somewhat surprised to find out at the end of the service that the soldier standing beside me was my wife...oops. We keep going on about how SP's are people too, that they have feelings just like you and me,so why the hell shouldn't they mourn a client/friend ? How many of you have gone on about how you have developed close 'relationships" with your favorite SP ? I'd say that an SP that as developed a relationship with a client to where she wants to attend his funeral/wake knows enough about that person that she can answer any awkward questions that may arise.

Well it wasn't my expectation that an SP would show up and say "Guess how well your dad knew these nipples?"
I'm hoping you'd know said client well enough you can explain your relationship in a way that was discrete. "My sympathies... I worked with your dad as an associate a while ago when he was working at ... "

I also saw that episode, and if i remember correctly, the girls at the club didn't go to the funeral.

Yes, adding commas in the original post would have clarified the situation more.

I've wondered about this since there are some older pooners out there.

Just, what if, the old ticker stopped ticking while partaking in your fav sport with an SP you enjoy?

Now that's the way to say good bye folks :nod:

I know you are joking, bbb, but there is a lady here who unfortunately had to go through that with a client and she had to answer to police and describe what happened. She wondered where he parked and if she should move the car. So I suggest to those with heart problems maybe mention it to your SP.

Wow, you are correct, I did not know about that incident.

All the more reason to "know your client".

You mean mention where the car is parked?

 

[vancity_cowboy]

no, the fact that you left your wallet in the car...

re: the op, i'm glad i wouldn't be around to face the heat on THIS...

re: the ladies, if you do attend, AT LEAST TURN YER DANG PHONE OFF!!!

How incredibly traumatic that must have been for her! My sympathies to the lady!

I am trained and certified in 1 rescuer CPR...and now I am really glad. I hope I never have to use it with a client, or a friend, but I am glad of it!

My favourite lady is my sole beneficiary. If anyone in my family doesn't like that they can FOAD.

Ha! That reminds me of a movie where this rich guy offered his entire fortune to what ever lady could kill him with sex. (No it wasn't porn.) He had many contestants try all sorts of elaborate kink on him but he survived, only to be finally done in by a kiss. I think it was implied she cheated and used poison lipstick. Can't remember the movie though. Anyone?

 

[vancity_cowboy]

a now-departed ole friend of mine was bangin' a beauty in a room above the bar one night, when (he said) he breathed in a feather from the pillow while in the heat of passion!! this led to a choking attack and during the coughing he collapsed a lung

the beauty called the ambulance using his cell phone and they were there in minutes, trussed him up and wheeled him down the hall and off to the hospital

all he remembered clearly was the line of couples leaning out the doorways of the rooms as he was being wheeled past them - the guys with towels wrapped around them, and the beauties wrapped up in bedsheets!

and every one of the guys being WAY older than the ladies!!!

I can actually completely understand this. I've seen some really terrible families that were the equivalent to human financial leeches.
To give whatever remained to someone who has brought you joy and bliss, it doesn't seem all that crazy.

Absolutely! As long as it wouldn't create any negative feelings for anybody else in attendance

It really depends on circumstances. For larger funerals, it is easy enough to attend without it being awkward. For smaller ones, it is probably a good idea to ensure that somebody knows you are coming.

I have sat with suitors in a hospice and held their hand while they transitioned. Not because they didn't have family and friends - but because they requested I be there for them.

I have had fathers and one mother call me to let me know that their child has passed away and request that I come to the funeral, wake, shiva or other gatherings.

They were all aware that I was an important part of their loved ones life, and the manner in which we met doesn't diminish the genuine love and authentic connection that we share.

I would never go to a funeral, regardless of how close I was to a gentleman, if it could cause heartache or negativity in any way for anyone else close to him. But that is also true of anybody I have met in any other capacity.

Many of my closest friends and relationships have been forged through this arena, and the fact that I choose to share my love and joy with others is not an issue for most people. Being a courtesan is merely an extension of who I am and another outlet for showing unconditional love and acceptance to others, while celebrating life together.

+1 baby, lived in one of those families.
Actually thought of leaving it to my Union (shared philosophies, saved my job from baseless attacks x 2) but a deserving SP is a great idea.

Taking applications.

 

[badbadboy]

Can you imagine having all the SP's you have visited over the years attend your celebration of life?

Now that's a party I would definitely want to attend 'live'.

 

[badbadboy]

You're kidding BBB that many in attendance might be enough to bring you back..lol

I've already pre ordered four Grey Hound Buses to help transport all my ATF's to Rogers Arena for my wake ound:

I hope all those busses have wheelchair accessible ramps for some of your ATF's, and a few helpers from the CNSBD to help some of the deaf or blind ladies that have shared some intimate times with you.

I'll attend, and I'll hire a well known band for a couple of hours for some appropriate back ground music. ---Dal Richards, who has been performing since 1940, and he is well under 100 years old --- like 96.
