God I can't believe you compared your dog dying to losing a child

I know the person meant well, but ... yeah.

Someone who'd been one of my best friends growing up compared how I felt after my son's death with how depressed she'd been when her son went to college. I didn't speak to her for ten years after that. I know that seems extreme, but she also lives elsewhere and we don't ever happen to run into each other. I just never called, emailed or texted.
