    Because I feel like being constructive, here's some examples of what responding with empathy looks like:

    "Seems like you two had your share of adventures together."

    "Hah! She sounds like she was a riot!"

    "It's so sweet that you keep that tradition alive."

    I cannot overstate how much more seen I feel by that sort of response.

    @Tattie I would really like to hear someone say something similar about my mom.

    The having someone die that you loved club is very hidden. But it is a lot more people than I thought. I used to talk a lot to people who knew what mourning was because I couldn't stand to be around people that didn't.

    Then we all mourn differently. I am still crying sometimes after 20 years.
