OP

(Anonymous) 2022-04-11 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you, secret-maker, for making this. And thank you to everyone for posting thoughtful replies.

I've always kept this secret, because I appreciated that other people would hear the line differently. When my mum died I always tried to take the things people said in the spirit that they were meant, and maybe I fixed all of the irritation I hid onto this.
It's the 'always' that bothers me, I feel that it sums it all up and cuts off discussion. It *can* be sudden, but my mother had cancer for my whole life, I grew up with it and there wasn't anything that felt sudden to me. I was still very young, and I think adults felt pressure to say *something* to help, and my friends were thoughtful, but they were young teenagers, and didn't really have any similar experience they could draw on. I always appreciated that everyone tried their best, and that there isn't a 'right' thing to say, but I guess I felt isolated, and this moment draws it to the surface.
Anyway, thanks again to everyone.

I still don't believe that Tara would have said it like that. It feels too much like a line and it rings false to me. (But that's only my perception of it.)
