Does anyone else find it hard with trivial things that others point out now their loved ones have passed? When someone points out something so small now I often think there is worse things going on right now. I think ive just lost my loved ones, im grieving, those things their mentioning can wait a little while but others seem to think its important when it can actually wait. I need to find a new normal somehow.

I think sometimes others can be very thoughtless in what they say. About a month after my partner died a friend suggested I get a cat. The mere fact she thought a cat would make me feel any better really annoyed me. I just shut off from the world, only dealt with the absolute essentials. At six months I’ m only marginally better. There’s an election coming up soon and I don’t think I’ll even bother voting. That will be only the second time in my life I will not have voted. (Was on holiday the first time.) So yes I did find many things trivial now.
I understand what you mean and sorry to hear you were made to feel that way. Like you say you do the essentials things for example for me its looking after our family and going to work (I dont want to be there though, pretending im ok is exhausting)
Yes, I felt the same when 2 friends took me out to lunch. I could not wait to get home.
Im sorry to hear you felt that way. I hope you were feeling better once you got home.
