Is it true that nobody gives a flying crap about yours or someone’s dead parents or relatives?

I know this question sounds very brutal but just hear me out. Sometimes when I post how I feel, people just says short answers or just doesn’t really care at all. Nobody does. I had to learn that the hard way that nobody really cares that you’re going though a loss or won’t send you a condolence. They always go straight to the point without a care or cut you or for change the subject. It kind of feels that way since my mom died last year. I know in an adult and I can take care of myself.

I mean they’re not obligated too so you can’t force them.

Yeah, many would rather talk about themselves than for you to steal their thunder by sharing that you are having a hard go with the loss of your Mom. So the response is an abrupt sorry or whatever followed by whatever subject they deflect it towards.


I suppose in some’s defense, they really do not know what to say or do when learning this. Which I can pick up on and make it easy with, “Thanks Life carries on…” or something along similar lines. It gets them off the hook so to speak.


Losing a parent (or both) especially when very close to them is a colossal kick in the ass. It takes the wind from your lungs and leaves an enormous chasm in your chest. It is awfully damn surreal world that follows.
