So, here's the thing. My husbands grandpa, died a few months ago. I wasnt close to him. Therefore I didnt cry for the loss. Not being rude, but Unless you have touched my life in some cosmic way. I usually dont cry. Theres nothing wrong with it, you dont know her theres no need to grieve. Yes, the whole I am sorry for your loss thing is nice and all. No one should try to make you feel bad. Then again, everyone deals with death differently. Some ppl become angry and want everyone around them to hurt as well. I will put it this way....Last year I had a friend who commited suicide. Greatest guy I have ever known. I did cry for that, because he honestly was my soul mate. Not in the married sense, but as a friend..He was the closest to love that you can have for a friend. Without going overboard. So, I would say...no you have every right to feel the way you do.

Thanks for your responses everyone.
It was just nuts because they think I'm being cold or something.
It'd be like one of you coming on and saying "man, my bestfriend's mom died"
And me saying "oh man...sorry."
and then your response being like "your so apathetic!!!!!!!!!"

BA
this is what you do in those situations
It's understandable to feel more apathetic if you have to see a person that's close to that person looking all miserable and depressed...
but in your case, like you said, you don't know nor did your bf so there's no connection other then what's associated....
during this fragile period however, you don't have to show much really... just say in your most apathetic voice "at least they're in a better place"...
sounds alot better then "oh, ok thanks for the info" :p
worked for me

thats kind of what i did. read this. Its text messages between me and my boyfriends brother:
Matt: U had a nice christmas
BA: Yeah it was great...we had a good time. We talked to ur dad. Lori's mom died on New Years.
Matt: YA i no that so sad
BA:Yeah. But what ya gonna do? They said she was really sick and knew she was going to die for a long time. At least shes in a better place.
Matt: Ya but still
BA: hard to be too sad about it considering i didn't know her
Matt: Will it be sad if ur mom die cum on now
BA: Sure but thats my mom. I don't know her mom. I barely know her. Its tough but people die every day every minute. No one feels bad for them.
Matt: God ur mean
BA: Yes...mean BA. We told them to call us if they needed anything..but for real, whats up?
Matt: ur fn attude
and i just left it at that. maybe i was a little harsh? I don't know. Maybe he misunderstood the "what ya gonna do" part. Its something my family says and have always sad to bad news.

Yeah...when someone is sad they take things more to heart. It's not your fault since you didn't mean to upset anyone...but sometimes just a little understanding that some people get a bit touchy when they are upest, etc.

Ah, he didn't know her, either? Some people are just weird about death. I just try to stay respectful and once someone gets "their ass in the air", as my dad puts it, I just drop it usually because it seems like nothing yousay makes it better.

not trying to ream ya, cutie...well... anyway
I believe he was giving you shit, just cause he is in that sensitive state... basically he's taking things way out of proportion... what he's hearing is... prolly some wrong stuff that he will eventually apologize for later after thinking how HE had acted
