Lookback: After conversation with neighbor

“Made an incorrect assumption about neighbor's brother”

Made a comment assuming 'transitioned' meant transitioned, not realizing it meant died in some communities

What I wish I knew
"Understand community-specific terminology"
If I could tell you one thing
"Be cautious with assumptions, ask for clarification"
