I would dish it out liberally. ;-)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08189847375191755096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-823549861851853736.post-9523285992841548202014-11-28T12:20:08.647-08:002014-11-28T12:20:08.647-08:00This is a great and powerful post, Abbs.

It's interesting when you hear receive the comments like 'I rang --- and they were good, we joked about ----, and I made them laugh' ????? And as you say people tell you these sorts of things with such convinced authority, even though you know exactly what is going on and that that person is no where even near vicinity of 'good'. I've learnt in those cases that those people, not that they're bad or trying to be insensitive, but that they are only seeing it from they're view, they want the person to feel better so that they can feel better. I'm pleased you were able to ring that lady to confirm what you knew to be true. ReneeSeeing Each Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06469816981098332908noreply@blogger.com
