Sometimes it’s better just not to say anything.
Karma
“A horrible neighbor where I used to live mocked me and said rude things to me while I was burying my sweet little dog. But that lady is dead now, so it all worked out.”
You’re Not The Only One
“I broke down after my dad passed away. A relative sighed and impatiently said, “Yeah, we’ve all lost people, you aren’t the only one.”
“Bonus points for then posting on Instagram about how much she will miss him and how much he meant to her when she wasn’t even close to him.”
No One Cares
“My Grandpa’s wife said something to the effect when my older brother died that since he was an addict, he wanted it to happen, and he’s better off.”
“I still think he was murdered, but no one cares about addicts.”
Plans Don’t Change
“Oh, I’m sorry… are we still hanging out today?”
“Erm, no?”
Learn To Cope
“‘Oh, you need to learn how to cope with this. My husband was gone for weeks, and I basically raised my kids by myself. It’s no different than your situation.’”
“This situation was actually after my father’s funeral. Which was also only a year after my child’s father died. This was in 2018. I can still hear her. I’ll never ever forget that moment.”
What…?
“My sister had just passed, and I was trying to get some money together for her expenses. I called my investor/broker and was asked if I was having intercourse with my sister.”
How About No?
“When my family was leaving our house for my grandma’s funeral, my friend Jake who lived next door, asked if he could play the PS3 in our house while we were out.
We said no.”
They’re in a Better Place
“‘They’re in a better place’ – like that’s great, but I want them to be here, with me.”
“Also, when I got a hysterectomy, my aunt told me I’m too old to have kids anyways (I was thirty-four) and that the world is too messed up to bring kids into the world.”
The “Drake” Defence
“‘It’s God’s plan. You’ll find someone else anyways.’ What the heck was the plan? To have a drunk driver mess up her family and friends? Plan successful, I guess.”
“And finding someone else is the furthest thing from my mind. Thank you so much for the reassurance, sister dearest.”
Doing Something Wrong
“After my second miscarriage, a coworker told me that I was just doing something wrong and I needed to figure out what it was.”
“Never tell someone who just lost a pregnancy that they did something wrong. We already feel like we messed up or are broken. We don’t need someone confirming those thoughts.”
You’ll Get Over It
“Sorry for your loss. You’ll get over it.”
“Edited to add it was said by my grandpa about my stepdad who raised me since I was 3.”
Wall Angels
“When my grandma died, the pastor from her church came over to give his sympathies. He told us a story about one of his parishioners who almost died. Apparently, he was in the hospital and saw an angel come out of the wall. I try to respect people’s beliefs, but I was dumbfounded. It was… the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.”
“Why he thought it would be comforting, I don’t know. I just lost a family member. I couldn’t give a damn about a guy that sees angels popping in and out of walls. Sounds like they gave him one too many doses of morphine, to be honest. And to top it off, at the end of his little story, he asked for money for his church.”
Thanks, Regina
“‘Well, at least it wasn’t you.”
“NOT HELPING, REGINA.”
Brain Spews of Unhelpfulness
“‘Be positive. It is good it did not go further. You can always try for another one.’ This was after my miscarriage.”
Get Lost, Karen
“‘You can always have another one.’ My child isn’t a goldfish, Karen.”
Psychic
“‘I think your dad knew he was going to die.’ He died of a heart attack when I was in my late 20s.
Her comment wasn’t helpful and, in fact, sent me into a spiral about whether or not my dad had taken his own life or somehow knew he wasn’t going to live much longer and didn’t tell me, his only daughter.”
Ciao
“‘How much longer will you be upset about this?’ Three weeks after my dad died.”
