Ugh, that would have made me mad. I am glad you didn't "JADE."
My sister reported something similar when trauma counselling was available on the campus where she teaches because something tragic had happened to a student while on campus. She did not know the student. But administration was pushbecing trauma counseling on her. She was sorry for the family and other loved ones of the student who died, but she told them, "I didn't know him, and I don't need trauma counseling." She was irritated that they were so insistent that she needed the trauma counselors.
Nothing remotely of that nature has ever happened to me (thankfully, and touch wood) but I remember when I was 25 and a guy dumped me suddenly and I was devastated, and I wanted to stay home that evening and grieve for the relationship, and my room-mate was super pushy about wanting to take me around to clubs that evening and have a good time, because "it's not healthy to stay home and mope, you have to get out." That annoyed me because it had literally JUST happened and I wanted to grieve in my own way, and here she was being all pushy about wanting me to go out on the town.
And recently my mother had a life-changing surgery, medically necessary but something she never wanted to have to do (OK it means she has to wear an ostomy bag). The ostomy nurse gave her information for a support group, and gatherings where you get to meet other people with ostomy bags. I know my mother well enough to know she'd never go for such a thing. She has friends, and family, and is not interested in going to gatherings to hang out with people whose only thing in common with her is an ostomy bag.
We got home and I held up the literature we'd been given and said, "I'm guessing you're not interested in this ostomy support group." She recoiled and waved her hand at it to indicate, "Yes, get rid of that."
Some people find comfort in that sort of thing. Others want nothing to do with it. Neither way is bad. Just one should not inflict their feelings about it onto others who might feel differently.
