So my best friend just posted a link for me. This one is so true and hit home. please understand that Im grieving decades of lost time and unmade memories It came from this statement. Well-intentioned: I know how you feel. My mom died when she was 80. Why it doesnt work: No two griefs are the same. Assuming you know how another person is feeling/processing is just that--an assumption. We all know death, but not in the same way. For example, my own mom died at 52, leaving behind four kids still at home and three in highschool. Im sorry your mom died at age 80, but please understand that Im grieving decades of lost time and unmade memories , as well as trying to step up to help meet my younger siblings practical needs. No, you dont know how I feel, and Im trying hard not to feel insulted by your comparison.
