Just trying to be careful. Thanks to anyone who will shed some light.

Hi Rain! Welcome to the board.
It's a good idea to use the trigger icon if you think you'll go into detail on something heavy like that so I would but if you're just mentioning it briefly in a reply, like "I am so sorry for your loss, I lost my father when I was 12 to cancer." and that's it no need to just use a trigger icon on your reply. It's the details that can trigger someone IMO. Although I might be wrong, some people are so sensitive that just the word can trigger them, but you shouldn't have to overly censor yourself just to participate in threads here. Again welcome to the board! Looking forward to posting with you Rain!
