35 Of The Most Soul-Crushing Things Folks Have Ever Heard Someone Say, As Shared By People In This Online Group

I would've asked to sit with her, so she wouldn't be alone.

It must have taken so much strength for her to have done that. Bless her

I did this with a photo of my late grandma after I was not invited to the 'kar' (or whatever you call a post-funeral gathering). Just alone in a pub, drinking beer and crying. My grandma was the best and I still miss her. Love you Kaja.

My brother and his wife were out to dinner on NYE and noticed a beautifully dressed up woman sitting alone at a table by them who was really sad, so my SIL complimented her outfit and she told them that she recently lost her husband of 50 plus years :( and decided to still go out to their traditional NYE dinner. They invited her to join them and ended up having a lovely time with her. I cried when he told me the story.

It is sad when someone goes through this someone should of been there to hold her. I can't imagine what it be like to go through that. I never do either. Bless her soul.

That's absolutely horrible. My great-grandfather was loosing his memory and my grandma would constantly worry he would for get her and his family. He never did, but they had to "put him down" because he was so old and suffering. He didn't even remember to eat. Or how to eat.

Oh wow. I can only imagine the emotional pain of the wife and the frustration of the husband. That's awful. :(

That is devastating and I'm sorry

I can't even imagine

An old woman from Yugoslavia that I was assisting had her entire apartment, with 35 years of memories, burn up. As she watched the flames she quietly said, "now I have nothing ". It was heartbreaking.

Looks like my plans for today have changed ….now I gotta fight someone’s dad

I'm so glad he has y'all in his life!

That just ant right. Poor boy

That made blink reeeaaally hard

Alex is so much my husband. His fathers ego is only outsized by his raging insecurity, as is the case with most bullies.

What a douchebag!

Let's hope her mum gave the dad what for. What a jerk. As someone who is adopted and whose dad used to made sure to remind people I wasn't his when I was a kid, and told me more than once as an adult how I ruined his life and took his freedom away when I was caring for him in his last years, this one cuts hard, and will stay with her her whole life. Yes, mum would give him what for, and that's the good bit I get to remember.

Tell your dad how hurt your stepsister was to hear his comments. He could make it up if he knows

What an a$$hole.

Hopefully he meant the emphasis on "little" if he hadn't known op as a baby

I have no children of my own but I swear if I had the finances I would be an Angelina Jolie and be taking every kid I could that needed it home.

It happens in many first world countries. Older sibling has to take care of numerous siblings because mom has to work and she can't afford daycare. So she gets up, gives them breakfast, brushes teeth, gets them ready and packs lunch for them, often there isn't any left over for her, and then she drops them off at school. After school she picks them up, takes them home, helps them with homework, makes dinner, dishes, then they brush their teeth and she puts them to bed. She finally is able to do her homework but falls asleep before it's done when her mom gets home from work. Waitress relying on tips meaning long hours to get enough to pay for everything. Eldest daughter was 10 and never had time to play or see friends. She was a mother of 4 without giving birth. She lived in the USA and my online friend was her neighbour. At 13 the girl ran away from home and was never seen again. She probably couldn't cope any longer. She was failing all her classes plus whenever one of her sibling.

I'm hugging you baby girl..

Some places charge for basic education. The families can't afford to live, much less to send their kids to school. I worked with many Hmong refugees. Most have only a 4th or 5th grade education level, if that. Given that, and the fact that they didn't even have a written language until they began to move to the US, I think they've been very successful. Some parts of the world....

😭😭😭 why does this world have two be do cruel?! That poor girl.... Just wants to play. That hurt my heart😢😢

On the 7th July 2021, my future wife, my porpoise took her own life. I found her. Less than an hour after my life was destroyed, her mum said to me “I don’t know how you could have loved her like you did. If she wasn’t my daughter, I’d have not spoken to her for the last 5 years”

That nurse is a hero in my eyes.

So many nurses have had to make this call during the pandemic, it's shattering for them too. My sister has been an ICU nurse through the pandemic, and it's been impossibly hard for her & her co-workers. I'm very happy that she's retiring in September.

I was there too when my mother passed in February (2022). I was coaxing her to breathe - telling her I couldn't find a pulse. Good thing the doc told my siblings to call me up as I live 6 hours away. Three hours after I'm in town she died. I think she was waiting for me because I hadn't seen her in 3 years.

I got one of those calls. "Your mom stopped breathing a couple minutes ago" it was like 8:13AM

I've know women who only want babies. Once the baby is walking/talking, the "mother" doesn't want them anymore. A small part of me wants women like this to be forced to have their ovaries removed. And what the hell is wrong with a man who would knowingly have a child with this kind of female?

Asshat c**t should have been sterilized at birth who does this!

I hope she warned the husband - this woman shouldn't be allowed to have another child she'll never love anyway

Hopefully the poster spoke to the mother's new hubby...not that it would likely make much of a difference...but to let him know about the probability of what would happen to that baby.

This is just terrible.
