Re: No good deed goes unpunished

[(Anonymous)]

This actually happened TO me. My mother died last summer, and I tried enjoying the holidays despite everything. Which actually worked.

Except people - very kind, well meaning people - kept messaging me. How was I? It must be so HARD, but at least I can know this Christmas that she's not suffering.

No one had any idea that by trying to help me, they kept bursting the bubble that was acting as a safety helmet.

(I'm dreading Mother's Day. Seriously considering deactivating Facebook...)

Ugh, how awful. Especially the bit about not suffering anymore. If you can't think of anything better to say than that, don't bother, ffs.

AYRT - I don't even mind that. I actually didn't mind a lot of the cliche things people say they hate. It's more that there's a time and place. When I was getting ready to prepare Christmas Dinner was not the time or place.

Wow. I try to check in with people when I know they're probably going through lonely holidays, etc., but I let them be the first to bring up whatever the sensitive issue is.

I still have unopened sympathy and Christmas cards from people for precisely this reason; I didn’t and don’t need an endless procession of emotional asskicking reminders that my mom died less than a year ago.
