Born in the wrong era? No. There is no wrong era.

dong's grandma just passed away.
paternal side.
haven't talked to him yet...dunno what to talk about...
this is one of the things that i never knew how to handle.
what to do when someone is feeling sad?
do we feel sad too?
try and cheer them up? is it appropriate?
say you're sorry? do i even know what that means?
tell them not to be sad? is that too insensitive?

sometimes i think the best thing to do is to just shut up.

not to say things that you don't mean and end up becoming hypocritical.
not to try and make them feel better by things that you say...
i think often people would rather just leave things to time and silent contemplation,
not so much to get over and forget the loss, but to put it in the correct perspective.
God's perspective.
maybe some people want to talk about it, then maybe i'd jsut be there to listen...

i wonder how i would feel if someone who i think is close to me passes away.
often wondered if i would cry.
and also what it meant if i didn't...
does it mean that we weren't close?
or that i didn't care?
i don't know...
