[quote=Anonymous]What I've come to realize is that a lot of folks don't grasp grief and loss until they experience it themselves. I was fortunate that my mother made me, even though I felt incredibly awkward doing so at the time, call a friend and let her know that I was sorry about her dad's passing from a terminal illness. This was summer vacation during the "olden days" and not somebody I was necessarily going to see until the start of school. I was so mad at my mom in the moment, but it really helped me understand this process. TBH, I don't think a lot of my friends were so great when I lost both parents and a sibling, but perhaps they never learned along the way. Many parents shelter their kids from death, then those kids become adults and don't want to do the "wrong thing" so they don't do anything. May your parents' memories always be a blessing. [/quote]
