Why are most of my coworkers avoiding me when I’m struggling about my dad dying?

[Anonymous]

So three years ago, we found out that our dad has lung cancer and he’s been fighting. Last week we found out that his cancer gotten worse and it’s terminal. One of the worst news we’ve ever received.
Last week on Friday, I came to work, one of my coworkers (let’s call her Jeanette) hugged me because she knows I’m going through a rough time. I said hi to my other coworker (let’s called her Juliana) but she just ignored me and looked the other way. Then when I walked off, Juliana continued to talk about her amazing weekend. Cold hearted bitch. At least Jeanette cares.

Then I came into the classroom storming in, threw my bad against the wall and sat down. Two of my coworkers (let’s call them Annette and Tamara) didn’t even asked me what was wrong and continued to do what they did. This was before the students came in. The ladies ignored me. I couldn’t believe they’re ignoring me. So five minutes later I was fed up and screaming, “ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Nobody cares that my dad is dying and nobody is even kind enough ask me what’s wrong!! Fuck this!!!” I stormed off to the restroom and then I got called into the admins office.
Somebody must of reported me and I explained what happened and my boss called me out on my childish behavior. She told me she’s sorry that happened but I’m being a damn child and that was uncalled for and of course nobody is talking to me.

I don’t have much family to talk to, my sisters are gone (both deceased) , dad is dying and my mom and I are no longer in speaking terms (long story). Why is everyone avoiding me? People at work don’t care. I’m autistic, 25 and I don’t know how to handle this!

Does dad smoke? If so, marijuana will clean out his lungs for him.
Otherwise, there's lots of cures for cancer. I just helped a fellow GAGer with his sister's cancer. I cured mom's cancer and, had I known how at the time, I would've cured dad's, too. The NO REASON ANYONE has to die of cancer, these days or for the past 100 years, or so!!
They have one in Australia that'll even cure stage 4 in just 48 hours!!
If you've got just $15.00, you can go to the grocery store and buy the two ingredients to make one of the cures yourself. For a few bucks more, while you're there, gut him a lot of greens to eat and tell him to cut out sugar.
Let me know if you wanna know how to make the stuff.

That is rough. Are they normally emotionally cold, or just with this Some people simply don't handle death well and try to avoid it, so it may not be personal. My father died one month after he was diagnosed with cancer. It's rough. I'll pray for you. Peace.

Your coworkers might be avoiding you because they don't know how to react or what to say to you. They may be feeling awkward or unsure about how to offer support. Many people are weak when it comes to these awful situations.
