For example:
Today, my sweet coworker who is going through chemo came by the office wearing her scarf and a mask. She looked so tiny and pitiful bless her heart (but still had her toes painted and her scarf was super gorgeous!). As she is attempting to climb the stairs in our office, I brilliantly say "Those stairs are tough even for normal people."
Real nice, Clark. Reeeeal nice.

ugh.. she probably understands. Maybe take her to lunch.
OH man.. I did that one time. A friend was going through chemo & loosing her hair - she had me french braid what she had left & STUPID ME said, "I cant make it stay because its so thin" ... THIN? I meant 'fine' - it was so silky... but how do you correct that?
... I know how you feel...it sucks
Oohh, nothing I can say will make that go away but you know what? Take comfort in the fact that not only have we all said something we wished we could take back immediately, even AS IT WAS COMING OUT OF OUR MOUTHS... I'm pretty sure you'll probably say something worse to someone someday and you'll forget all about this one! I can guarantee I've let a few doozies fly, and I won't even admit to them in public, on the internet, with "anonymous" as my name, so just use your imagination...
dumbass.
