[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had the same thing happen when I lost a parent recently. A friend who posts multiple times a day of her getting coffee, at the salon, what her kids are doing, what she's drinking for lunch, which fancy restaurant they are at tonight or how great one of her favorite sports teams is. 
She "liked" my post about the death of my parent, but not so much as an I'm sorry. 
I was upset about it. Honestly, I'll never forget it, and things won't ever be the same with us. She showed her true colors. [/quote]

I'm not on FB anymore, but for two solid years now, I've been dealing with all aspects of my father's care as he moves through the final stages of Alzheimer's.  Very, very few friends even ask about my dad or how I'm doing.  I understand it's depressing and distressing and uncomfortable to talk about my dad, so maybe it's my fault I don't talk about him to my friends.   Maybe because I am younger and have an elderly parent and so none of my friends can relate?  Still, it's so isolating and lonely feeling like no one understands or even cares.

I'm so sorry for your loss, OP.  I wish you well during this sad time.  Be gentle with yourself.[/quote]
