Someone in our community passed away today (July 6th), and I've read a bunch of journals and faved a few pictures but for the most part I've kept quiet because I honestly had/have no idea how to response or what to say. I've followed this person since their DA days and found them over here and followed them here too, and it really screwed me up that they posted less then 2 days ago and they're just gone now. Like I'm supposed to accept that. I mean, I DO because life is sadly incredibly unfair and snuff a light out so quickly and without warning is just above things I can handle lately.

But dear god, when you see someone, multiple people even who are grieving, don't just say 'aww'. 'Aww' isn't going to make people feel better. Offer condolences, apologize for their loss, offer morale support or someone to talk to, maybe even express your own shock and grief over the death, but for crying out loud, DON'T SAY 'AWW'! Especially if it's all you say on everything posted. The same thing over and over again.

Just please, it's just not what people need right now.

I'm sorry.
