Does it matter?

I cannot fathom why so many people ask me, "What happened?" (i.e. "How did Kevin die?").

Does it really matter that much to you? He died, that's what happened. And fuck you for asking - it's none of your business, and besides, what difference does it make? A beautiful, generous, kind soul has left this sorry world, and all you're concerned about is how he died.

My standard answer is, "I don't want to talk about it right now." That usually takes the wind out of their sails and they drop it. But a few have been more persistent, and I've had to either change the subject or be very firm on my stance that it really is none of your fucking business. I don't care that your curiosity is getting the best of you. His family knows what happened; the medical examiner knows what happened. And you just need to mind your own business - asking me "What happened?" isn't being empathetic or supportive, it's insensitive and rude.
