You can tell a lot about a person by how they react when someone dies.

NO YOU FUCKING CAN’T

It blows my mind how much stupid shit people believe about death and how much projection people do when it comes to the literal and figurative death of loved ones and grief.

Having dealt with both intimately I will never judge anyone on how they react and deal with grief and the death of someone in their life. That is a personal journey that has no roadmap or milestones.

The fucked up thing about grief is that the moment you think you have your arms around it and have a handle on it, it all gets goes south and gets away from you.
