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 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.

@Gibbon I don't know why people can't just keep their stupid comments to themselves it's like they feel they have to give you useless advice or they haven't done their duty.

@Justmeraeagain they're just trying to help when they are clueless and don't realize they should keep their mouth shut

@Gibbon I do know that many people are just trying to help but just posting" find yourself" with an exclamation point seems a bit odd.

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