[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Generally when something so terrible has happened that people are trying to comfort me, I don't pay attention to the words, I pay attention to the intent behind them. And the intent is usually kind. It doesn't matter if it comes out super awkward. I know what's in your heart. Apart from my mother, who when I shared that I was depressed because my spouse had lost his job and we had to relocate with two young kids to a studio apartment, snapped: "He's ruined your life". In a nasty tone. Don't be like my mother, and you'll be fine.[/quote] I think more people are like your mom than you think. I think many people are annoyed are angry by people's grief, and it makes it hard for them to feel empathy or kindness. Sometimes the words even technically sound kind but you can tell they don't mean it. Or yes, as with your mom, sometimes they can't even muster generic kind words.[/quote]
