One thing to keep in mind (and prepare for) is that people, while well meaning, will start to tell you how and how long to grieve.

Everyone is different and there is no right or wrong way and there is no timeline.

So just shrug that stuff off and don't let it worry you.

It's okay to be profoundly sad. Feel whatever your feelings are and don't let people make you feel bad for feeling them.
@VaBelle35, I just had this happen. The person told me I should not be like this because I knew this was coming. I was shocked to hear it.

Sigh, oh @tiny 2 my friend as our friend @VaBelle35 so eloquently said, people are going to say and do dumb things but goodness I thought they wouldn't start so soon. I guess these are the times that you find out who your friends really are. That was a thoughtless, shelfish thing they said to you and don't forget that. Just mean.

I hope you had a lovely time with your family at Thanksgiving and that you are surrounded by good friends and good thoughts and many prayers as you are here on Potsticker. I wish you a peaceful Saturday my friend . . .

Very proud of them. Very thankful they called me right away, she knew I'd probably have the news on

Oh good grief @ChiliPepper , how awful! I am so glad both of them are alright and that your DD's boyfriend is such a fine young man thank God. This is just so sad, you want to spend a couple of hours at the mall and maybe grab a bite to eat and relax and something like this happens. Again Chili, I am just so thankful everyone is alright. Try and enjoy the rest of the weekend my friend . . .

Yes, milk! Thank you!

My sis and I thought so, but never actually saw Gram make it. I used milk.

However, the stuffing had a gooey texture. The flavor was there, but the texture was off!

the only th ing my Gram was famous for making and she took the knowledge \recipe with her!

Oh good heavens!

Thank the Lord she is okay. I can't even imagine how scary that must be.

I missed it on the news.

Oh gosh!

I'm sorry someone said that to you. It is not what you need to hear. SMH.

Some people just don't think.

@VaBelle35 is right. Please let comments like that fly right over. Your grief is just that...Yours and yours alone.

Hugs dear friend, we are a safe haven for you any time.

Good morning my friend!

I wholehearted agree with the rest, a heartless, ridiculous thing to say. Your grief is your own, no one can set the rules for you. Yes, sometimes logically we know it is coming but you can never fully prepare for it and it certainly doesn't make it easier. At some point you will think of your dear, sweet DH & smile instead of cry but your heart will always be broken.

Thank you for your thoughts about my DD & her BF at the mall last night.

@ChiliPepper I am so glad they are ok. I was in one of the early mall shootings in the US. I had an afternoon job after school. It was the most frightening thing.

@tiny 2

Thank you my friend!

OMG, how awful for you!

I just don't understand sometimes.

Apparently they have info that this was not a random attack. The two guys had some sort of beef earlier in the evening. The victim was shot twice in the leg but is expected to recover.

My DD & her BF were taking turns at the restrooms in the back of the store so luckily they were not out in the main area which is where they were headed.

I had a nice Thanksgiving with my family and I took with me several photos of DH doing his turkey carving duties over the years. These are good memories and he had a huge smile in everyone of them as he started his carving.

The comment was more insensitive than mean spirited I think. The person was trying to let me know that they thought I should toughen up. I have been tough for a long time and I do not feel any need to please anyone in that department.
