Somebody actually said "thoughts and prayers" on my wife's FB post announcing the death of her father.
Be proud of me. I didn't unload on them for that. Condolences are nice. Saying you're going to pray for us, well ok, whatever makes you feel better about yourself. Thoughts and prayers? Garbage words.
I'm embittered about it.
@ianthealy That phrase has been shorn of any meaning. It's pabulum to avoid actual empathy.
@ianthealy good of you to remain quiet this time though
[fucking mindless idiots]
@ianthealy
Most people don't say what they mean & don't mean what they say.
That said, my sincere consolences to your family.
I mean that.
@ianthealy That's when you reply, "Support and Money is a lot more helpful".
