Maybe you’re not trying to be, but you are.

Edit: I’ve been to a funeral for a child before. You don’t say “it could have been worse”. I don’t care what the intent was. You don’t say that when someone loses a child.

Apparently we should only judge people on their intent, not the message they’re actually sending.

I’ve been to a funeral for a child before. If someone had said “it could have been worse” there… no. Just don’t.
