"A Day at Work"
Just another day at work, getting things ready to open the office,make the coffee ,getting all my data and turning the phone on. The workers are coming in and when one of the ladies came in she started talking to me and asking me about the Holiday's. She said are you taking any time Off? I said "No" , I don't have any reason to take time off anymore. She says" You always take time off" I said" Not anymore since Penny had Passed" don't have any other children or anyone to stay home for. What does she say? She said to me " Can't you get past this????" How do you get past the death of your ONLY CHILD?????????? Somebody tell me because I don't know how to get past it and Never will??I thought how rude but I didn't say anything because I was in Shock that she said that! People who didn't have a child die just don't get it,it kills us inside and you never forget,they act like you should be over it ,like throwing trash out. The thing is I don't talk about Penny at work and I act like I am Happy (but not) so why would she say a thing like that? What would you have done,would you told her how ignorant she was to say that or ignored it like I did to keep peace at work? I just wanted to share this story with all of you and send me some advise incase somebody else says something rude, I am not a shy and speechless person,I usually say what I want when I want,I must of been really in a state of shock to be quiet about what she said,I couldn't give her an answer, I had none!
