How to use "Bad news" in context?
If you've ever felt the crushing weight of bad news, then you know just how difficult it can be to hear. Contrary to what we may believe, there's nothing inevitable about bad news - in fact, it can be tiring, frustrating, and even traumatizing to hear. Here's why bad news can be hard to take:
1) It's unexpected.
Unlike the inevitability of disaster movies, bad news is often delivered in an unplanned, unanticipated, and often jarring way. Whether it's an unexpected diagnosis or a career setback, hearing bad news can feel like a punch in the gut.
