Braunwyn, both statements were heartfelt...however, your attitude and roughness really turns people off...you come across as a very angry person without the slightest concern for the feelings of anyone else.
Listen, Braunwyn, lossing someone is a horrible thing...and most people do not know what to say during that time. They so desprately want to do something, to show they're concern, care, and help to support you in all of your pain, so they say stupid things, sometimes, things that don't make sense at all.
A friend of ours just recently lost they're son...I can't imagine, being a parent, loosing a child, like your parents. Our children are not supposed to die before we do. It was a very tragic story which I'm not going to go into, and they were a very close family.
Now I don't do funerals, for personal reasons, however, in the past two years I have attended a few, b/c people tell me, "oh, just go to show them your support." So, I have managed to be able to go to the viewings. Anyway, for days, I walked around asking myself, "What am I going to say to these people when I have to hug them, what in the world am I going to say?" What can you say...so I just said, "I'm so sorry, please, if there is anything at all I can do, just call and I'll be there". What in the world can one say to someone who has lost a loved one? Nothing...but we as human beings say stuff out of nervousness, pain, anger, etc. I know it doesn't make sense, the stuff people say sometime, but they say it all the same...for whatever reason...
You saying emotional masturbating is a very crude way of describing someone showing they're empathy. Yes, some people are drama queens, and hold onto pain and sorrow, b/c it's all they know. People act and speak as they do, b/c it's all they know.
It seems to me, as if you've had a very difficult life...and I again say, a year later, I am very very sorry for your loss...I've lost people to, we all have...and we all handle it differently...you posted how you felt, and many people have come to your rescue, trying to explain why this woman wrote this on your brother's facebook. However, you've rejected the fact that b/c this person doesn't think like you do, they are stupid. We're trying very hard to help you understand, we're all different, we all think and feel differently b/c of the way we were raised and due to our trials and tribultations, which makes us who we are. You can't control what people say, how people react, and what they think.
Again, I tell you truly, I'm sorry for your loss...and even after a year, it still cannot be easy, it takes time and hard work to move on...and just when we think things are getting a little better, something happens, and we regress...
We're all here for you if you want us to be...there are a few people on this forum who are cruel and mean, and bully, but there are also more people on this forum who do care, with all they're heart and souls....
So, if you at anytime wish to post again, we're here for you and do care. Reject us if you wish, or embrace us when need be...it's your choice.
Oh and by the way, my friends who lost they're son, have kept his facebook open...they felt it would help all his friends, and they've even kept posting on it for they're sake, all his accomplishments, his works, etc.
People are people and they are never going to react as you want them to...
That's all I've got for now.
