Solace?

This couple had just returned from their bi-annual holiday from India. Unfortunately within a week of his return, his dad passed away yesterday. He is my husband's colleague. He left for India this morning with his family for the last rites. So we went to his house yesterday evening & there were many others too sharing his loss.

He was trying his best not to let his emotions out & hardly speaking much. Though his father had a very sudden death it was a peaceful one.

One of the ladies who was there last evening was being a loud mouth. She went on & on bragging as to how it was good that he had died! She was saying good cos he had a peaceful death. *And I thot it was crazy cos u've still lost someone dear to u!*

Maybe she meant it in the right way but her tone really put me off & I was wondering how this chap wud've felt! She just didn't stop there! She went on talking about many other things under the sun that the gathering turned more like a social one! Here we are trying to provide some sort of a solace to the bereaved family but this lady was trying to make it like a fun one! Well probably she was trying to cheer them up I thot? Even if she was, I don't think she was doing it the right way!

I got rather cheesed off! All I cud do was cut her short & told the hosts bye. And thankfully the rest of the crowd followed me (including Mrs. Big mouth!!)

Have u encountered such people? Or is it just me?
