When my mother died I was amazingly relieved when friends showed up who were unconnected enough they could joke around with me, and the most healing part was after the funeral when it was just close family and friends and we could tell funny stories and remember her life. Having THIS IS SAD YOU SHOULD BE SAD ISN'T THIS SAD shoved in my face by people who went to church with the uncle my mother hadn't willingly spoken to in ten years was torture.

But everyone's different and everyone grieves differently, which is why it's important to listen to someone who's grieving instead of talking over them and telling them what you think they're supposed to be happy to hear.

There was a thing that went around tumblr that was like "If someone tells you god loves you and they're in heaven now when someone you love dies you should smile and say thank you because they mean well! Even if you're not religious and the words hurt you or upset you, remember how important it is not to hurt their feelings!"

And no, no no no. If they care about not hurting you then they'll want to know they're accidentally hurting you. And if they don't care and want to hurt you in order to feel better about themselves then they can go screw themselves sideways.

Wow, wtf? So you, as the grieving person, have to make sure not to hurt other people's feelings, but they can hurt your feelings all they want?

Christ, people on tumblr are so hypocritical and dumb sometimes.

Because you wouldn't want to make religious people (who are obviously ONLY TRYING TO HELP despite being oppressed by The Atheist Conspiracy) sad.
