[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, they are really debating this. It's been going on for months (ever since one got remarried). I don't know why the married one simply won't give in and say, "Hey Sally, maybe you are right. It sounds like you are still really struggling with losing Joey...and I'm so sorry."  Instead, she keeps the debate going. [/quote]

Wow. I don't even know what to say. I feel bad for everyone involved. [/quote]

Me too. I am usually the kind of friend who bites my lip and tries to gently steer things into clearer waters when an awkward discussion like this pops up but I would honestly call them out on it and tell them that if this is part of their grieving process, then you are sorry but you can't be party to it anymore because there is literally NO WAY that its a good way to go and if its just the world's saddest pissing contest then to knock it the eff off in the presence of you and the rest of your friends (I presume no one really wants to hear this debate any longer!) because there is no prize for having the saddest situation in life, loss is loss- its bad its different for everyone,  and mostly its just like love, its not a zero sum game. If someone is hurting very badly, you don't get "less hurt" doled out to you. It doesn't work that way. [/quote]
