But let me assure you that I never want to 'slap' people, metaphorically speaking, for writing to me with problems that seem pathetically small to you, so full of inconsolable grief at the sudden death of your fine young grandson.
Talking about your parent's or even sibling's deaths is of no comfort whatsoever, and I'd like people to realise that losing a seemingly-healthy child or grandchild at this age is absolutely no comparison to your 90-year-old mother dying in a care home.
Yes, you are right to say there is no equivalence between the demise of a very old parent in a care home and the sudden death of a young person with his or her whole life ahead.
Unlike those other people's sons, Jack was an absolutely lovely young man who'd never been in any trouble and always worked.
I'm afraid other problems have struck me as incredibly trivial and I very much admire your ability to give reasoned replies as sometimes you must feel like slapping the writers.
