the height of insensitivity

Sitting in a brainstorming session, she looks up at us and says, “What if we have this really old man, who is, like, dying of Cancer or some shit.”

We stare at her, I’m thinking of my mum who has just gone through several sessions of chemotherapy, and the other girl, whose dad died of cancer a year ago.

I’m not sure if she didn’t realise, or if she just doesn’t care.

I’m leaning towards the latter.

Does she have a 'history' of insensitivity? Some people think it's fashionable to throw in a couple of 'shits' and worse in their conversation..but still, it's no excuse.
More importantly how's your Mum coping - physically and emotionally? I wish her Well...

There will always be people like that around I guess.

Your mum is not well? I hope she gets better soon.
