i think you did the right thing xx sometimes people process grief through anger and it can feel really unfair for everyone. keep being kind

like genuinely what else do you say when someone suffers a loss? do you pretend to ignore it until they bring it up? bc that feels wrong too

there’s no correct thing to say in that scenario! but acknowledging it is a good thing. i don’t think you did anything wrong. their anger was just misplaced towards you
