I feel like a pretty compassionate person, but sometimes I just can't find the right things to people. <br /><br />I read your blog often because I love hearing stories of Maxie...and I grieve your loss with you. I am so sorry that shining light has been taken from you.

Most people don't and he is just one example of an almost daily inability for people to respond to me. I am not angry - just disappointed. And, to be honest, it is really, really lonely to be the person that nobody knows how to talk to - even if I can understand WHY they don't know how to talk to me.Abby Levisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748394086960661826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-823549861851853736.post-36320144148852025362013-11-18T11:13:43.013-08:002013-11-18T11:13:43.013-08:00Don't you think that's very typical of a m...Don't you think that's very typical of a male response? Sorry to all the wonderful male responses I've seen in your posts, but most men have trouble handling situations that makes them feel uncomfortable. I don't think he meant to be hurtful, but he just had no clue what or how to respond to you. I'm surprised he even answered. Not too mature. At first, I was angered by the "well got to go to work" part of his response but after thinking about it I thought he probably feels bad about how he responded too. Just didn't know how.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-823549861851853736.post-14095682507357433082013-11-18T08:06:08.708-08:002013-11-18T08:06:08.708-08:00That's awful :(
I had the opposite - I wrote ...That's awful :(<br /><br />I had the opposite - I wrote to commiserate someone on their loss (of an adult sibling - I lost my adult sibling some years ago, so thought I would offer support) and never heard a squeak!<br /><br />It sounds like your acquaintance just can't face the 'embarrassment' of talking to a bereaved numa about the loss of her baby son.. xxHannahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-823549861851853736.post-84040793977722430652013-11-17T19:55:15.521-08:002013-11-17T19:55:15.521-08:00Reading this made me SO angry, I cannot even tell ...Reading this made me SO angry, I cannot even tell you. And I am just someone who found your blog. I know I don't know you personally but through your writing you share yourself & your precious boys. It is absolutely unreal to me that anyone could respond in such a way when hearing about your precious Max. Absolutely ridiculous. You have a right to be very angry about that insensitive jerk. I feel angry for you!! I am sorry that anyone you come into contact with could be like that. Please know there are strangers like me who think about your sweet Max & remember him. And we send positive thoughts and prayers to you, your husband, and Mo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-823549861851853736.post-52328367658043160492013-11-17T12:41:57.623-08:002013-11-17T12:41:57.623-08:00Yup.
