Working as a case worker, having to explain to a little seven year old girl in foster care her adoptive family changed their minds. Family didn’t even show up for the conversation. She had been living with them already. I hugged her as she just cried.

She found her forever family a year later, so there was a happy ending for her.

We went through this with my 10 year old. It was a little better because we had talked about it all because signs were there for us. She had some idea, but it truly is difficult to know and know when. You can't really prepare such a young mind enough because it's traumatic in its entirety. The whole process. I'm sorry both OP and the child.

My son's never had a biological grandfather. My dad passed 6 years before my first kid was born, and my wife's dad just wasn't even that interested in them.

My friends dad, we called him Papa, was amazing. They loved him so much, and he them. Last year he passed from cancer. I would take them to see him every time I would go to my friend's house, so their relationship was deep and pretty much my kids entire life.

He went into the hospital, and I knew it was not going to end well. I took the boys each day, when they wanted to, and then one day I got the call her passed midday.

My youngest came home from school just as I finished working. He popped his little head into the stairway and very excitedly asked if we could go see Papa.

I tried to make words, but I started crying and my face scrunched up instead. I broke my kids heart, and he backed up and said, "Dad. I want to go see Papa. What's wrong." He knew Papa had cancer and was really sick. He knew without me having to say it, but I had to say it.

Good god, I thought I was going to stop breathing when he said, "But he said, 'See ya later, Stinky,' last time and I want to see him." And I hugged him and we both went to the ground crying.

Definitely the hardest, least comfortable things I've ever told anyone.

Having to tell a good friend of mine that his wife was cheating on him, and showing him the proof. I loathed having to be the one to tell him, but I knew he would want to know.

Called him up about 3 days (I think?) after seeing his wife, with a guy that was not him, being really handsy and making out in a bar. Had taken a couple quick pics and a short video for proof, and called him to come hangout because I had something important I needed to discuss with him. I wanted to tell him in person so I could be there if needed, rather than just over the phone. Went about as well as you’d expect, and he was divorced a couple months later. Thankfully they didn’t have kids yet, and due to the pics and video, she didn’t make off with a lot of his stuff.

I honestly think it makes you a better friend to do this in a more heartfelt, caring way and away from others instead of allowing them to possibly be bullied or be told by someone in a mean way. Sometimes people really don't know how to properly take care of themselves and it's nice to have a friend care enough.

I’m glad though - the family rallied around said cousin and doesn’t have anything to do anymore with the creepy MAGA uncle.

I had to tell my ALL of my extended family (grandparents, aunts, uncles,cousins, my own children) that they needed to get to the hospital because I was going to have my mother removed from life support.
Mom made me agree, as soon as I was old enough to understand, that I wouldn't allow her to be placed on life support of any kind. She was a nurse, and she had strong feelings about prolonging suffering.
The religious hospital she was in after gallbladder surgery had placed her on life support in the night even though they absolutely had her advanced directive on file.
My family just didn't understand that she was very clear on this. A few of them were quite upset with me but I promised her.
It's been 24 years, and I still wonder, "What if?" but I am comforted that I did what she wanted.

Having to explain to people over and over that I’m hard of hearing.
My hearing loss is actually fairly mild to the point that ordinarily its not noticeable and a hearing aid wouldn’t be necessary, but i have quite severe auditory processing issues, to the point I can’t understand someone unless they’re facing me 80% of the time. If it’s in a public space then I usually can’t understand them at all.
I frequently get accused of not paying attention, and I’ve even had a few ‘are you, deaf?’ comments as well. It’s very uncomfortable to explain that yes, I am, which usually results in people spilling out apologies and being equally as uncomfortable, but in worse case scenarios people get quite rude and dismissive when I have to explain exactly how my disability works. ‘Oh, so it’s isn’t real deafness’ ‘can’t you just concentrate harder’ and ‘I’m not going to coddle you every time I have to speak’ are comments I’ve received before. It can be quite humiliating and isolating. I also get told I’m too young to be deaf, since I’m only in my twenties, and I ‘don’t look deaf’, whatever that means. I can only assume it’s because I’m a 24 year old woman, and not an elderly person.

My dad had dementia at the age of 58 after having a brain hemorrhage. It was painful to explain to him why he was in a hospital, that he was in a hospital and not a train station. I did a little test I regret I told my dad John Lennon died because I wanted to see what his long term memory was like. My dad was so shocked and upset, I still beat myself up about it. In the end, I only explained the most crucial things and went along with his delusions; *yes, I am my brother; yes, we will get on the bus soon*. *We won't be late, we need to wait here in this hospital room.*.

In my job as a speech-language pathologist, it’s my job to field questions like, “When will my mom talk again?” I strive to be as positive about stroke recovery as I can (because there is a lot of prognostic optimism to be found in the first year and perhaps beyond) but I also have to balance conversations with tempered expectations, considering what a patient’s language loss looked like immediately post stroke and after the acute rehab phase. It’s always hard having the cautious but tempered conversation with family who assumed their family member would be having full conversations by now (~2 weeks post-stroke, for example) when, in my experience, significant recovery is unlikely.

I had to tell him that my mum would not have wanted her at her funeral, even though my stepsister had taken time off work and leave from work for grief for some reason. I said I'd tolerate her there for his sake but everyone who knew my mum, knew what had gone on and it would be very uncomfortable for everyone and things may be said in the heat of the moment, he later agreed that it would be best for his daughter not to come, incase anyone says anything to her to upset her on the day of the funeral.

I developed a polyp in my uterus that grew so freakishly big that it was coming out of my cervix and into my vagina. My doctor said he had never seen anything like it in his 40 years of practice as a GYN. I had to wait 2 months to get it surgically removed. While waiting for removal, I ended up hemorrhaging at some point and needed to go to the ER. Of course the nurse doing my intake asking why I was there was a guy I went to high school with who followed me still on Facebook. He knew who I was. I had to tell him I was bleeding profusely from my vagina. Then once in the back, with just my luck, it’s another nurse who I went to high school with who’s smirking. Then the doctor who helps me is a very attractive man who’s my age. Once again having to explain my situation with my vagina.

Then comes surgery time. It’s a tiny outpatient surgery room. The anesthesiologist tech is a guy who’s my age. The assistant is a guy who’s my age. It’s a room full of 7 people-6 men and 1 woman. I was about to be unconscious spread Eagle while they went up my vagina in front of all these people who watched. Fun times. I love being a woman!

A lot of times the people are in the country fully legally and following all the proper procedures, they just aren’t eligible due to their status. When I first started it was so incredibly uncomfortable, I would get so nervous. Sweaty, stammering the words out. I’ve gotten used to it and can do it with a calm heart rate, now lol. But it’s a very uncomfortable conversation.

Explaining internet culture to older relatives like I’m trying to explain memes, social media trends or why something is funny online can feel a little embarrassing when the person just doesn’t get it.

Telling my teacher, whose first language was not English, why he shouldn’t call roosters c***s. Mostly because he refused to take it seriously at first, not understanding the gravity of what I was saying

Edit: this was years ago, and I still remember it. I had to get backup from another teacher, and it was altogether hilarious.

Tried to explain the concept of being "vers" to a teen girl who was translating for her father, who only spoke French. Vers as in the gay sex terminology. I work at a boutique and the word was on an item of clothing.

That US immigration law does not accept unconsummated proxy marriage as valid for immigration purposes. "So... You need to go back and... SPEND the night together." .

Really? Whether the couple had sex or not is relevant? That seems so outdated.
