Today, it was my boyfriend's grandfather's funeral and visitation. These things make me nervous, and not thinking, I made comments that included the words "killing", "dying", and "death". I'm a rubbish support system. FML

Today, it was my boyfriend's grandfather's funeral and visitation. These things make me nervous so I, not thinking, made comments that included the words "killing", "dying" and "death". I'm a rubbish support system. FML

Today, while grieving over the loss of my Grandpa, I called my girlfriend for comfort. After I had cheered up, she said, "Don't worry, he went to Hell anyway." FML

Today, my boyfriend told me he couldn't spend the day with me as he had his grandmother's funeral. Lonely, I went shopping and I bumped into his mum having lunch with his 'dead' grandma. FML

Today, my boyfriend shared with me his anxiety about death, so I shared with him one of my ridiculously irrational fears. He thought I was making fun of him and now won't talk to me. FML

Today, I was at my grandma's funeral. While giving the eulogy, I accidentally mixed up "You will be missed" and "You won't be forgotten" and instead said "You won't be missed." FML

Today, I work at a hospice center. At 3AM, a call just went out to a man's family to come because he was dying. I didn't realize that this man was my old friend's grandpa. When I saw her, I smiled really big and said, "Hey! Great to see you!" Her grandpa was ACTIVELY DYING. Stupid stupid stupid. FML

Today, I went to a family funeral. Talking to my grandfather, trying to chitchat, he said, "You're gaining weight, aren't you?" FML

Today, my boyfriend said he couldn't come to my grandfather's funeral because he was at his cottage and couldn't make it. Later that day, when driving home from the graveyard I saw him walking down the street, with another girl. FML

Sucks for grandma too

By What about granny - 25/10/2022 15:00 - United States

Today, my mom made the (not) very wise decision to once again inform me that my grandma is in rapidly declining health, and as a result she is not long for this world. My brain took this as an opportunity to push my anxiety into overdrive. I can't stop thinking about what will happen when my grandma dies. FML

Sometimes it's better not to say anything. Perhaps you should have been a shoulder to cry on instead of a failed Hallmark sympathy card.

I have done the same thing. The day after my favorite teacher came back from her father's funeral, she complemented me on my new septum ring, and I said thanks, but it smells like death.

I get really nervous at these kinds of events, what should I say? Say "I'm sorry for your loss" then move on. OP : "i'm so sorry for your loss, move on."

I am terrible for this and the worst part is, that whilst the recipient probably gets over my idiocy pretty quickly, I then spend the next week fretting over it, and more.

I am sorry for you and your boyfriends loss. At least you didn't say that old bastard should go to hell. That's what my boyfriend said when my granda died. You did better than him!!!!

At least you didn't get the nervous giggles. It's absolutely the most horrifying thing that can happen to you at a funeral that'll make you look like a huge ASS.
