What not to say to someone grieving their MS
In my most recent column, I gave a few brief examples of what not to say to someone with MS. There are so many more than the ones I posted. I’m sure you have plenty of examples, so please share them in this thread.
What would do you add to this list?

I’ll start.
One of the things that I know people mean well when they say is, “You can do anything you put your mind to.”
I know I read into things too much, but what I often hear is that whatever I’m doing now isn’t quite good enough.
Let’s face it, I can’t do anything I put my mind to. I could put my mind toward running a marathon in under 3 hours, and that is never going to happen, whether my thinking is positive enough or not. I realize that people are just trying to be encouraging for the most part, but how about you just tell me that whatever I’m capable of matters?
