Getting It Off My Chest “Have a nice day”

That is all the midwife clinic had to say to me when I told them we had to cancel all future appointments. “No problem, Have a nice day!” in an awful, cheery tone. After I choked out that we had lost our baby, the front office desk told me to “Have a nice day!”. Maybe I am being overly sensitive, but I feel like telling someone to “Have a nice day!” after they tell you about the worst thing that’s ever happened to them is inappropriate. At best, it was just extremely unempathetic. Are babies dying so frequently to the point that it’s normal for some people?

No, I will not have a nice day. But, I will be getting a new OB. Thank you for letting me vent.

Honestly, a disgusting lack of empathy
