So close, but yet so far

By socks - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I had to explain to a woman I didn't know that my husband was killed overseas. She replied, "I know exactly how you feel, my dog died last month." FML

Some people just don't know what they're saying.

People need to develop a filter. Freedom of speech shouldn't mean you can be downright cruel/stupid to people and act like its OK. I'm so sorry for your loss.

some people can't empathize with the way people are feeling because they've never lost anything or anybody close to them. But I know how you feel. I'm sorry for your loss.

you dont know how long she had that dog and you dont know what he meant to her so dont be a bitch about it she couldve had that dog way longer than youve even known your husband

It does seem like she was trying to help you. However, losing your spouse in a war zone is extremely difficult. Being half way across the world, not knowing what's going on, not being able to get to them, and little to no contact would be unimaginable.

Anyone who's been saying YDI is a douchebag. If this is real, we're sorry for your loss, OP

Sorry for your loss. I hope both you and his spirit find peace,

is she retarded or does she have a lot of dogs and no family members.
