Today was tough because...
As you can see, I am not going to be able to post my updates to my journal everyday.
1) You guys are going to get tired of me (because you just don't want to know me that well).
2) I don't know that I will have meaningful posts everyday (and I don't know that I am ready to share that much at this point)
Nevertheless, today's question was this: Today was tough because...
Today was tough because I can't understand why some people seem to be incapable of giving others time and space to cope, deal, just to themselves to asses their situations.
I know, I know, so let me explain. My friend and co-worker lost her younger brother last night (totally unexpected). She sent a note to us to let us know. First thing this morning, people (really one person in particular) are standing in my office asking "Have you talked to her?", "Do you have the arrangements?", "Do you have her address?". Then, the person runs off and tells everyone she can talk to then starts pinging me. Really? Do you think I spent hours talking to her last night or this morning? She had to break the news to her parents, try to get answers from the coroner's office, and head down to Alabama. Oh and her brother passed in Chicago by himself.
It really frustrated me. Don't get me wrong I am not trying to be mean or insensitive and I understand that people just want to show concern and support. My thoughts are this, before you take action, consider if the situation was yours, what would you prefer from others? This consideration can help in almost every situation that you face involving others.
