I don’t know who needs to see this, but please do not send bad news via text.
Who wants to be the one to share bad news, have difficult conversations, or give negative feedback? Very few of us. The way of lessening the discomfort, granted to us by modern technology is the text message. It is so much easier. I don’t have to be in the same room let alone same continent as the recipient. I don’t have to see saddening face. I don’t have to experience tough emotions. I don’t have to hear a response. On the other side, while you are sitting there comfortable, what is happening to the other person? They have no comfort, no space for answers. Potentially all they have is pain, or at the very least, the ease of denial.
As uncomfortable as it can be, whatever you do, take the hard road to have the conversations face to face or over the phone. Just don’t take the easy route of texting. It just makes the journey much more difficult in the long run.
