[quote=Anonymous]I recently met someone and when they shared about their kid I asked "oh how many kids do you have?" and they matter of factly said "X but 1 passed away." It was abrupt but who the HELL am I to judge that? It it a brave, healthy, apt thing to share with people you'll be seeing for a year, especially kids who want to know if you have kids and how many and their names and all kinds of stuff. Can you imagine being asked that 120 times over the course of a year? I bet you can't. And if you did experience that, I bet you'd be grateful for the people who heard your pain, held it, some identifying with it via their own losses, and were more empathetic and less apt to offend or be awkward because of it. Yes, YATA. [/quote]
