Who’s the saddest person you’ve ever seen?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I was 10 years old. My cousin’s great grandma passed away and her little brother came for a funeral. He had red adorable cheek and blue teary eyes and nobody in the whole house, nobody was sadder than he was. My little brother, who was 8 years old at that time, asked me sympathetically

“Who’s he? “

“He’s her little brother.” - I told.

And he got his eyes teary and hugged me.

To this day, I’ve rarely ever seen eyes sadder than that.

That moment made my little brother and I appreciate each other much more and It was a very painful and a heartfelt moment for us too.

He empathized that little teary old man because he lost his big sister and I empathized and felt hurt for him, to imagine that someday in a faraway future my brother might have felt the same pain in his eyes.

I wanted to go and hug him.

That's such a sweet story ❤️ The saddest person I ever saw was my boyfriend when he opened up too me about the abuse he suffered from his older sister and mother. He was sobbing and I hugged him really tight telling him that he's safe now and that he has a lot of people now who love him ❤️

My personal experience was a little girl I babysat at her brother's funeral. It was a suicide, and it had been very graphic. She hadn't witnessed it, but she was so lost and was having massive emotional swings. She would hug me and talk, and then cry a little, and then play, and then do it all over again. Her family was not emotionally equipped to handle the situation, and it broke my heart to leave her. She was grieving the way she should, but I doubt anyone had the emotional bandwidth for her to be free to do that in that particular situation. It hurts just thinking about it.

Myself. I have no family no friends have been abused by all those people. I live alone. No woman has ever liked me. I cut myself to ease the pain. I think God never loved me and has put me here to suffer. Eventually I am going to commit suicide. I just don't know when I am going to completely give up and end it. All I ever wanted was love and will never get it from anyone.

Given this is Memorial Day Weekend coming up in the US this seems appropriate. This picture has always stuck in my mind and was my first thought when reading your question.
