Which Insensitive Comments Hurt the Most?
Friends and family members can’t understand which means their words often hurt rather than comfort.
After my brother died, a friend went silent. She didn’t reply to my text when I shared what happened. She didn’t reach out after I posted on Facebook. Finally, after about six weeks, we connected.
She asked how I was. “Well, my brother died,” I said.
“Yeah. Tell me about that,” she said.
Wow. Her silence and then her inability to offer sympathy and to acknowledge my grief really hurt.
I’d love for you to share which insensitive comments hurt you. How did you heal the hurt?
