...hmmmm....I feel like I may be in there somewhere, I think. If so it is considered a "bad, negative" comment. People sometimes feel so misunderstood. I do now.
My jaw DROPPED when I read some of the things people said. Seriously, WTF?! I'm glad it wasn't all clueless...
Sometimes people don't realize that saying nothing at all is better than saying the wrong thing. I learned that when my sweet Logan lost his fight, sometimes people say the DUMBEST things. It is hard to hear those "wrong" things, and I am sorry that people can't even begin to understand what you've been through. I hope that just knowing people are reaching out to you brings you great comfort.
Some people should never open their mouth.
I'm thinking of you.
My bloglines has not been updating your feed, so I hadn't realized all that has been going on with you. I am very sorry about your loss.
