Day 7



What To Say

Knowing what to say can be as hard as what NOT to say.  People are tempted to say that would bring comfort to them.  But that can be hurtful to a grieving person, if they don't believe in the same ideas.

Just letting the person know that you are there for them, that you would like to help in anyway you can, sometimes that alone is enough.  We just need to know that people care about us and are there to listen.

A simple, "I'm sorry for your loss" is the easiest and most comforting thing we could hear.
