[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the OP of one of the posts you mention. I totally get it. But I also know it’s irrational. You should, too.

When my dad was diagnosed with aggressive cancer, my axis shifted. I was so pissed off at the world. How dare people complain about small stuff when MY DAD IS DYING FROM PAINFUL CANCER AND I AM GOING TO MISS HIM! But then I thought, he isn’t dead; someone has it worse than me. I just found out my dad has cancer? Someone just found out their dad is DEAD, so who am I here with my small problems.

And you know what? Yes, small petty things still annoy me, you, and everyone. And that’s ok! I can, AND WILL, grieve my father and also that small annoyance at the same time. And so does everyone else. The world does not stop because you are in pain. Life’s little annoyances don’t stop, nor do they become less annoying, because you are in pain. Your HUGE issue doesn’t make anyone else’s small issue any less significant. Nobody is that special. [/quote]

If you are referring to annoyances in general you have a valid point.

If you are referring to small annoyances of your father then you may be sorely wrong.  You have no idea how his death will hit you.  You only have the idea of it right now.  Death itself changes everything because a part of your world will indeed stop.

Well, I do, and like I said, I understand that feelings can sometimes be irrational. People are allowed to complain about their parents annoyances even though I don’t have mine, because I remember being annoyed, too. I’m grieving, I haven’t lost my sense of logic. [/quote]

?? This wasn't directed at OP (who I am in agreement with) it was directed at the poster quoted.[/quote]
