Hi everyone
Ian passed away suddenly 21 weeks ago today and I wonder how you all cope with insensitive comments or I’m I just being too sensitive.
Yesterday I had to meet with someone I’ve not seen since Ian passed away. All I can say was he was quite ‘jolly’ ’ and couldn’t seem to understand my reactions. When asked how I was doing I thought I’d be honest so told him I wasn’t doing too well. He just completely ignored that comment and asked was I moving etc all with a smile on his face!
Just now my sister, who has been very supportive, said her not eating healthily and being obese with associated medical problems, was a lifestyle choice just like I was choosing not to have any real appetite…. I found that comment so hurtful and upsetting but didn’t say anything.
I could go on but I’m sure everyone on here has had insensitive comments made to them. How do you cope and stop them reducing you to tears when alone?
I’m so confused,
Julie x
