I should try to write a book about all the stupid things you shouldn't say to somebody who's grieving

The latest one is" find yourself"...
What profound wisdom !
I'll just find myself and I'll never be sad my husband died again!
Of all the useless tripe I've been advised that's just the dumbest.

I have a book like that. It's somewhere in my library, but it had some good ideas.

I hear you. I got so pissed off at the advice given me after Vickie passed. Thankfully I don't go out or see anyone anymore.

@Justmeraeagain it's actually mindless to me. It's a serious feeling grief and doesn't need willy nilly BS tossed at it.

People say “find yourself” because they’re terrified of admitting there’s nothing useful to say when life punches a hole through your chest.

What I'm trying to say is people are the worst.
