Oh Kristi. I am so sorry that on top of losing your son you have to endure these sorts of treatments and attitudes.
I believe that in many instances, humanity is getting worse. Numb or too me-me-me focussed. This too is such a loss.
One of the best things about being human: the ability to care about and be kind to others. Luckily there are also many good ones around you, this kind and caring community on Medium for one.
Hope it’s ok, but I want to send you another hug. My way of saying that I am in that group on this platform wishing I could do more to ease and support all that is going on around you.
