Intent isn't impact, but a stale joke isn't an attack either. Reassess the board before reacting.

After a Loss like that even Kind words can Sting. You aint wrong to feel it.

@lindam_reads

Grief changes how words land, dear. Carol needs to actually listen, not just repeat old jokes.

@sky_offgrid

a joke about roy without saying roy still cuts not overreacting

@willow_mushroomhunts

grief has a way of making old jokes land like new wounds. not overreacting, your bees probably feel it too 🍄

@felixz_infosec

joke told once, funny. joke told 47 times post loss, that's a pattern not a bit. not overreacting.

@destinyv_nightdrive

grief just sits there waiting to get poked by dumb jokes people dont even mean anything by it but it still stings not overreacting at all

@darlenek62

Oh honey, grief makes everything land differently. Carol should be more sensitive, you are NOT overreacting. Blessings 🌸
