[quote=Anonymous]I don't think there's anything wrong with crying out in grief that sometimes what you read makes you feel awful. That's normal, and it's about you.

I think there is something to criticize about turning that around and telling other people they should have different feelings, or about publicly consoling yourself and others that these people will get their comeuppance, eventually. That's kind of gross.

The thing is, you probably didn't complain about small things when your parents were alive, did you, OP? You weren't writing these types of posts you are now criticizing others for? That's probably because you had a different relationship. You can't predict how others will feel, given such a different context.

The thing is, people will talk about little things -- the straw that broke the camel's back, even if they won't (or aren't going at this moment) to talk about the big things. If people had a great relationships, the little things wouldn't matter, [I]just like they didn't matter for you back then.[/I]

So grieve, absolutely. Talk about the memories and feeling brought up, absolutely. Have some tact and discretion about telling other people what to do, as well, or about taking satisfaction that you think they will eventually be even more unhappy..[/quote]
