Yes! She should be ashamed of herself (please pick this answer)

No. She is not. She has a point. I'm not GREIVING for a stranger.

So what? People die. Get over it.

Why are people so cruel and inconsiderate of the death of a love one? RIP Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna. One girl told me, "I know this is going to sound cruel and wrong but people die everyday. It happenes. Celebrity families have someone that does. There is no reason for anybody to be shocked about this. It's life and we're not meant to live forever. I don't know why people are getting triggered by this. Why grieve over a stranger? I'm not sorry."
I know what she is saying is true but she doesn't have to be so insensitive. Do you agree that she is too insensitive?

I agree that 99% of the time when given truth...people (like yourself) act shocked and TELL us they would love to hear what others have to HONESTLY say....but only if it is so sugar coated it no longer resembles truth of real life or honesty. Nothing the girl speaking to you said was wrong...or insensitive. Death is the inevitable last part of living......and death can come in a blink.....to anyone. Those are the facts of life.........and death.

@anythingoes477 Yes I get what she is saying but what she is saying was brutal and she said she isn't sad over his death but she is sad for his family. She told me I was wrong to grieve over someone that I'll never met. She was rude. She said, "You weren't even a fan so why the hell are you crying?! That makes no sense. You're going to spend a day crying over a stranger you don't even know. Pathetic." That was harsh.

@NotValid I think you'd think Santa Claus was rude for coming down your chimney unannounced. The truth MOST need to hear most is the honest, brutal truth. Most however want a watered down version to everything...so they can handle it emotionally. Is that unduly harsh on the part of others when they give you that kind of honesty? Or does it show that the one listening is so emotionally unable to cope with anything----unless it's wrapped in gold foil and coated in sugar----that they just can't deal with even the reality of life?
