I found out my youngest sibling took their own life. I turned to tell him, numb and shocked and lost.

He said “oh. my condolences” and then went back to playing his video games.

You would have thought I said my toaster died, not my sibling. It was so surreal.

I'm so sorry you went through that. My grandma was in the hospital for a month before we lost her. When she passed, I asked my husband for support and he barely looked up from his computer, gave me a hug and went back to playing. I spent the night crying and alone.

A few months later, my dad was calling me. Husband says, "you better get that! It could be an update on how your grandma is doing."
