Humans I interact with have social norms around death that annoy me. They say things like:I’m sorry for your loss.How are you? No, how are you really?How are you feeling? I want to offer my condolences? (I’ve been offered so many, I wonder if there’s an ““everything must go sale on condolences”)At least he’s not suffering…At least he’s at peace…At least…When my mother died….He’s finally with his parents…Here are my issues:Why be sorry for something you didn’t cause?
