person A: My dog died 6 months ago
person B: I'm so sorry to hear that_comma_ it's always tough to lose a pet. 
person A: Yeah and what made it worse is that I just found out about it. My parents are jerks.
person B: Oh wow_comma_ that must be tough. I'd like to think they were having trouble dealing with it themselves and that's why they didn't tell you right away.
person A: I don't really care. It will be a long time before I forgive them.
