After my mother died there was, following the acute grief, a sort of lacuna when I felt I understood the meaning of life, that it was transitory, that death was part of a cycle, that the body died but the spirit lived on and was at peace. It was a wierd thing, a sort of awareness that was very real and made everything OK. My life too is temporary and loss was also temporary, only until we move to the same phase.
It has faded now and I still miss her.

A women says that sentence after shes heard the latest juiciest gossip of whats going on in her neighbourhood.
Heres an example:
'Wow, oh really!',
Gasped Mrs Brentworth,
putting her china cup and saucer filled with tea down on the table, she was suspensed by the gossip, that Morien Morris was telling her...
'No, never!'
shook Mrs Brentworths head.
The gossip was all to much, she was all eyes and ears. Moriens words were to much to intake, Mrs brentworth was flabberglastered.

oh, like one of those, "shazam!" awarenesses -- or "damn, I could've had a v-8?"..........well, lemme see, there's so many! I once had a doctor, who transitioned his practice from a clinic to the basement of his home - in a "home office." He claimed "the overhead was too high" and that seemed reasonable....until I later learned that he LOST his practice for some rather unethical shennanigans /behavior. Even then, he explained that away, "the person misunderstood, was ill, etc." until it came out in the newspapers - all the sordid details. That was like a "duh, wake up little rosebud" moment - because all the signs were rather obvious.

at 42 with my youngest child 16 i had what i thought was a tumor / menopause. HA !! went to gyn. 5and a half months preggers. 3 months later 4lb 11 oz baby girl. that moment of the dr saying & grinning " its not a tumor -unless tumors have arms, legs and what looks to be a vagina" is a "WOW" memory that i doubt even alzheimers would be able to erase.

After college I felt irresistibly drawn back to my small-town home, despite there being few prospects of employment.
I had always thought my parents' families were newcomers to the town.
Recently I have discovered ancestors in the town going back at least 275 years. 'Oh Really!' describes how I felt when I discovered them; I feel it explains my affinity with the place.

The event that really changed my life was the 9/11, because it made me aware just how precise life really is and we don't know what is around corner (thank god).

OK, here goes. I got a call late one evening, my elder sister was on the phone, she told me that my father had been in a plane crash and I was needed immediately. My response was not exactly what you stated but here it is "Oh, my God, REALLY!!!????
