like so many they are incredibly clumsy and bad about how to react the grieving members of the deceased. It doesn’t mean indifference. It’s more akin to being tongue tied and socially awkward.

When my son died and even over time people I work with are not very good when it comes to dealing with death. Whenever I talked about my son like just mentioning a memory or anything that would be perfectly normal if he hadn’t dies, I was met with complete silence. It doesn’t mean they didn’t care about me. It just means they are at a loss as to how to respond. It’s inadequate, but it is what it is.
