My friend told me my grief was 'inconvenient' for her wedding timeline
She said it to me in the parking lot of a Target in Tulsa after I tried to explain why I couldn't be a bridesmaid three months after my dad died. Has anyone else had someone treat your personal tragedy like it was a scheduling problem for them?

That's brutally cold. Your friend is an asshole.

Whoa hold on, I gotta jump in here and defend the friend a little bit! Honestly, sometimes brutal honesty is way kinder than letting someone walk around looking like a mess. If my friend was wearing something that made them look terrible or it was a bad choice for the event, I'd want them to tell me straight up before I embarass myself or waste my time. It's not about being mean, it's about looking out for each other and not letting them go out like that. Plus, now your friend can fix the problem and feel confident instead of wondering why people were staring at them weird all night. I'd rather have a friend who tells me the hard truth than one who just smiles and lets me make a fool of myself.
