Lesson in Sensitivity

Since Jason passed away most people have been more than wonderful to Jared and I, to Brenda and her family, to my inlaws, and all others affected.

I truly appreciate all the kinds words, acts of kindness and help that poured from everyone. I love that I know there are people that I can call on at anytime to talk to about this.

But there are the insensitive ones out there.

And I want to punch them.....

or scramble their eye with a crochet hook......

either way insensitive people piss me off!

Do not tell me that it was a selfish act. No one knows what Jason was going through. No one knows what pain he might have been enduring. No one knows what underlying problems were there.

In that moment, he did not know better. In that moment, he was not the Jason that we all know and love.

Moving on.....

Do not puke religion on me. I am not a religious person and I don't want to hear it. I can take a little, because I do have my own religions views, but please don't puke it on me.

Next.....

If you have no idea what to say, then don't say anything. Just an "I'm sorry" will do. I have had to listen to some of the stupidest stuff that spews out of peoples mouth. I understand that it is a difficult subject, but if you say something stupid you might get the crochet hook.

The circumstances surrounding Jasons death are very hard to understand. With the help of our family and friends, we are able to help each other find peace. I am lucky enough to have married into one of the best families. Each member of our family is so incredibly strong. It is nice to know that in times like these, we have someone to help hold us up.
