People are doing the best they can. Try not to be so bitter, at least for your son's sake.

This is different but when my son was diagnosed with cancer someone said to me “omg if it were MY son I would go crazy”. lol!!!!!! Like I wasn’t going crazy?! Another person said “my cousin died from cancer, Goodluck”

I thought I would lay down and die if I ever lost my daughter and I didn’t. People just don’t know until it happens ti them. We die inside but we keep going.

I don’t think they are trying to be insensitive or hurtful, but sometimes the right words just don’t come out. Please give them some grace.

What exactly is it that you would like for people to say that would be helpful not hurtful?

They’re saying it because they’re trying to say you’re stronger than them and trying to lift you up. They don’t know what to say and they probably use self deprecation in these situations. They don’t know how to comfort you but they’re trying.

What would be something that someone could say that would not sound insensitive? I think this is why people choose to say nothing at all.

Thank you for speaking on this. Our culture is truly ignorant on grief and how to support appropriately. We need more education on this.

“I can’t imagine” is the worst thing to hear. Like neither can I. I’m not IMAGINING it I’m living it. It’s the most frustrating phrase.

I honestly don’t think ppl know what to say. And they try to say what they think would make sense. The key is to not take offense. Nobody is an expert

I have said these words to other bereaved parents in my life. I lost my daughter this year. These words hit differently now.

Often when we speak to people who have lost someone especially a child we really don’t know what to say and we really don’t mean to say the wrong thing, but by following I’m learning

It means they can’t wrap their head around the grief your going thru bc it’s normal to bury your child

I will also say this about people saying really bizarre shit to you. I think there’s nothing to say and that’s the problem because everybody wants to say something and most people don’t know how to hold space with a few words so they end up saying something really ridiculous or offensive or insensitive. But I think the actual issue is there really isn’t much to say but I’m sorry and this pain must be unbearable. You know I don’t think people know how to hold space I guess.

We didn’t have a choice and when reality hits that time does NOT stop for us we have no damn choice but to live day by day especially for our other child(ren). 💔😩

It’s hard for people to say the correct thing when everything you hear is hurting you. I’m so sorry this happened to you.
