Vent, vent, vent...People say the DUMBEST things. She was very insensitive to you, but maybe the death really bothered her as it was still so new. I've had many, many stupid things said to me over the years. My favorite was just after having my mastectomy. I shared a room with a woman that just was diagnosed with diabetes. She wasn't accepting this and the social worker (that never saw me behind the curtain - all bald), said to her "Marie, it's not like you have cancer or anything." I pulled the curtain back, looked at the social worker and just said, "EXCUSE ME?" That social worker ran out of that room so fast...
Unfortunately, you will hear many more stupid things as time goes on...
