My Response to the 25 26 27 28 29 Things That Don’t Need to be Said

Alternate title: 

“You Shared Your Thoughts Here are Mine”

I understand that every word was said with the hope that it would help.  Some of them are valid suggestions.  Some of them are an obvious attempt to come alongside me and be my friend.  Some are best printed on a bumper sticker and placed in a demolition derby.  Some come from bumper stickers, and you believe it is your job to repeat them.

My response:

1.     The only place I think would be better is right here with me

2.     You seem to believe you are making a point.  I don’t get it.

3.     Seriously?  So in time a decapitation heals, right?

4.     I will never get over it.  I may learn how to carry it through the rest of my life.

5.     Does that mean what I think it means? I will now begin trying to die.

6.     Holidays in Heaven.  Heaven!  Holidays!  How Funny!

7.     Oxycontin conquers pain.  He was not suffering. I am not glad he is gone.

8.     I didn’t realize I could choose anything other than grief.

9.     As if I have a choice.

10. You do not know how I feel.  That’s ludicrous!

11. I don’t know how I do it, either.

12. So, is it really all about you?

13. He loved me and wanted to take care of me forever.  He did not want to leave.

14. He understood how important he was to me.  He understood sorrow.

15. We all grieve differently.  I would be dishonoring Chuck if I didn’t work.

16. Ha ha ha!  You think?

17. Maybe you should talk to yourself.

18. Again, do you think I have a choice?

19. A better choice might be a “magic wand”

20. Probably not, but thanks for offering.

21. I don’t know.

22. Oh My, I cry many times every day. I didn’t know you were causing it.

23. This is my new normal.

24. She died with her old Chuck.

25. Lost.  Their “HERO didn’t make it.” Now they worry about their mom.

26. Fun? I’m confused. Explain that word to me.
27.  F...You!
28.  Seriously!  This one simply shocks me into an uncharacteristic silence!
28. Ha! Thanks for telling me, I couldn't tell.
