FROM THE EVENT SITE!

 

Someone you care about has suffered a loss. You want to support them. Instinctively, you want to offer comfort but donโ€™t know what to say. Then, in a moment of emotional awkwardness and with the best of intentions, you say something like:

 

(1) โ€œHeโ€™s in a better place.โ€

 

(2) โ€œThere is a reason for everything.โ€

 

(3) โ€œArenโ€™t you over him yet? He's been dead for a while now?โ€

 

(4) โ€œYou can still have another child?โ€

 

(5) โ€œShe was such a good person that God wanted her to be with him.โ€

 

(6) โ€œI know how you feel.โ€

 

(7) โ€œBe strong.โ€

 

You meant no harm; however, what you just said was NEITHER helpful nor supportive!
