I tend not to tell people that my wife has breast cancer because people eventually bring God into the conversation and go on about how I need to find him because the shit she's going through is part of his "divine plan". 'Cause then I gotta bite my damn tongue to keep from saying that if I do find God, that asshole is gonna need a guardian angel.
@starbreaker Epicurus: “Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”
That's what i meant by insensitive, they don't know or care about your beliefs, and if I was pessimistic, I'd say their religious responses are entirely a socially normative display of "good faith" rather than a true concern for you and your wife. Or even worse, a way to cop out on actually caring by bringing up the great Deresponsabilizer.
@MissSnarkerson Thanks. We're doing the best we can, and we're better positioned than many to face this. At least my health insurance isn't utter shit, though it's still a capitalist death panel.

In seriousness, though, I'm really sorry to hear that, and I hope for the best for you two.
