I become weary with those so wrapped up in their own grief that they fail to realize that others hurt too.  Those who look at loss as a reason to assume center stage.  When someone dies they leave behind many relationships - spouse, child, best friends, long ago acquaintances or sweethearts, co-workers, neighbors, classmates, etc.  Bottom line is we all grieve in one way or another for so many different people who come and go into our lives.  Leave a bit of consideration for them all and don't "hog all the air from the room" looking for compassion from others.

I become weary of those who promise to put life on a new pathway and not only fail miserably but do so almost daily.  These empty pledges/attempts aren't a commitment to themselves or those they ask to help them along in their struggle.  People need to try harder.  It's not good enough to come back day after day and said you screwed up again.  It means you never really even tried too hard to begin with.   My cup of compassion no longer runneth over - it's run pretty dry at the empty words.
