I know this is not a good topic but wanted to hear what do you say when someone dies.
what do you say to someone who lost a family member or friend.?
First of all do not say everything is going to be all right or you get over this
Say something of kindness that you recall.For me.I talk about the good time we had.Playing sport,golfing etc.Remember all the good things that he did.
Such simple generosity can be a way of expressing and also showing concern.

I think what to say is subjective, depending on how close we are and our relationship with the deceased, again I do it on a case to case basis.

I just hug. There are no words as I know from the experience of having lost some of my most loved ones.

@amadeo The words "I´m sorry" are meaningless to me when the sorrow is too big.

Most of the time I give then a hug and express my condolences. If I know them well, I will visit with them at home and spend some time with them.

If it's someone I know, I express my heartfelt condolences for the loss, and remember the good times. If it's someone I don't know, I just say I'm sorry for your loss, and leave it at that. It's always sad when someone loses someone they love and who meant a lot to them. I've had my losses, so I know how the person feels to lose those they love and care about.

With the people I have lost, I loved when people told me they were there for me if I need them, if only to talk or lend an ear if I needed shoulder to cry on. I have taken a few of them up on their offers and they were all sincere.

I say, "I'm so sorry that so-and-so is gone. I can't imagine the pain you're experiencing right now. What can I do to help?" I suggest a specific thing I can do to help, if possible, rather than leaving it up to the grieving person to come up with what I should do for them.

You say," I am sorry for your loss." As you have said, you speak a good memory. It really does help.
