I know exactly what you are saying. That use to drive me NUTS! There were a fair number of people that would immediately tell me of someone they knew that died of cancer. I would get SO irritated, but I suppose it was just their way of relating. They did not have a clue.
How much nicer it would be to hear of someone they knew that survived...and for a really long time!! But I guess they don't make as much of an impact on people as the ones that died. Who the h- knows...
