Should I tell a Cancer male Happy New Year if his grandmother just passed 2 days ago? I mean it's not really a happy time but I didn't want to let this day go by without saying something. Would it be best to just stay silent? I'm on the fence with this one.

I was just thinking about when my mom passed right before Mother's Day a couple of years ago i felt like f*ck mother's day i didn't want to hear nothing about mother's day or anything else for that matter. I hated hearing all the mother's day commercials on tv and would change the channel or people even talking about their mothers. I was just so deep in grief that anything would have set me off.

I feel like he'll say Happy New Year?!?! The hell you mean Happy New Year my grandmother just passed away and I'm not happy about anything right now and I don't want to hear it. He's so deep in grief that I don't want to make it any worse.

Cancerlass that's exactly what I did. I just basically said that I was thinking of him and i was here when he was ready to talk and I hope this year turns out to be great for him.

Thanks to everyone for their responses!
