Sorry that he wasn't able to show compassion, understanding and sensitivity. Glad he was good with the CPR and that you got something from the class. <br /><br />SoniaSonianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-823549861851853736.post-66408101319910559802012-06-20T07:09:15.314-07:002012-06-20T07:09:15.314-07:00I think it's a lack of maturity that causes pe...I think it's a lack of maturity that causes people to react negatively when you tell them how their words affect you, or just that what they said was unacceptble. I tend to put my foot in my mouth so. Hugely appreciate it when somebody is frank and corrects me. I almost never mean to cause harm and it gives me a chance to apologize and learn for the future.<br /><br /> It sounds like your teacher was pretty receptive - I think you did him a great kindness in telling him what was and wasn't ok. Hopefully it will help him if he ever teaches another family who has experienced the death of a child. Aside from that, of course you have every right to protect yourself and your family from harmful words!! I am shocked that anyone would think otherwise. I am sorry you have to do it at all though.Beccanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-823549861851853736.post-59023181586925510252012-06-20T03:45:32.349-07:002012-06-20T03:45:32.349-07:00I'm amazed that the teacher kept making these ...I'm amazed that the teacher kept making these comments. Well done to you for stopping him. I need that strength sometimes.<br />Thank you for the story about your grandmother though, I actually laughed out loud and I'm at work so my cover's blown!<br />You've inspired me to take some first aid/CPR lessons, like you it wouldn't have saved my son but I'd like to think I was prepared just in case.<br />Fiona<br />xhunter.fnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-823549861851853736.post-83247743087357004242012-06-19T21:25:34.963-07:002012-06-19T21:25:34.963-07:00I will take the advice and do the class again.

I think most of the time I get a reaction of what I should have said later in response to insesitive people. I think I just get so shock that they just said so.

I don't care if I hurt the feelings of someone who hurts mine. I am not trying to "get them back" for hurting me, I am just not letting them get away with doing it. At a certain point, it might become exhausting but for now, I am just over nodding politely and acting like it is ok.maxiesmommynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-823549861851853736.post-75655953901999523342012-06-19T14:28:23.707-07:002012-06-19T14:28:23.707-07:00That was brave - I don't think I could do it. ...That was brave - I don't think I could do it. <br /><br />I think people do expect you to absorb crass remarks. I keep being told - s/he didn't mean to upset you - as though that makes a difference. I think it comes down to this - we are the freaks. We are the wierdo, child-loss mothers who don't fit - who find all these things that other people are at ease with really diffiuclt. And the world ain't going to bend for us - so we need to put up and shut up, cos - well, they didn't mean to upset us.Susan Irelandnoreply@blogger.com
