[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP it sounds like you’re mostly wondering how much this is going to affect *you* and whether it will be an inconvenience. Please channel some empathy[/quote]

I wrote “Im trying to process what it would be like to lose a sibling you aren’t particularly close to.”

I.e. I’m wondering how it will be like for DH, who so far seems to be doing OK, to lose a family member who he is not very close to in part because they have taken different paths in life. I didn’t say I’m wondering how it is like for ME to lose this person. I do not have siblings (nor am I close to his sibling because he isn’t close to her) so it’s hard for me to put myself exactly in his shoes. He says he’s ok, but will he be devastated? I don’t know and I don’t think he knows either. Also, I can’t ask this question to real life people because that would be weird, which is why I’m posting it on DCUM. But of course l people on an anonymous forum still need you to feed them a whole sob story before they can deem a question worthy of a response….

I didn’t want to write a sob story. I just had a question and I asked it without going into too much detail, but trying to give some context. I guess I picked the wrong context to share. [/quote]
