Do you even realize what u just did Barb
The pain of losing your folks has damaged you with grief to the point you are projecting that pain and anger on a stranger rather than just giving simple empathy which cost you nothing dear
That is precisely what you just did and it was ugly and uncalled for and you should apologize
You should also seek a therapist
When our own grief stymies our ability to empathize with the pain of others because our emotional pain is “worse”
We might need some help
Trust me
If some one loses a child tragically or god forbid violently should they lose their empathy for others
Because their grief will damn sure ALWAYS be more justified
I worked with camp survivors in the diamond district of Manhattan in the 80s
Wrists tats the works
No question they knew life’s deep valleys like few did
Yet they were as empathetic and kind a people as I ever knew
Do you get my point
I’m sorry you lost your folks
My wife and I both lost ours long ago
Post #154.
I may be losing my boy to bone cancer.
Vet appt. tomorrow.
Not feeling hopeful at all.
do you still mourn your parents like you mourn a dead dog?
