Not knowing what to say when someone dies

Yes I have to be careful too. My friend brother was murdered, and I just said sorry for your loss. His reply he did t misplace anything. A few people don’t like to hear sorry for your loss.

I always know that whatever I say it will not provide the comfort and empathy that I wish to convey. Words just don't cut it in some circumstances.

This is a big huggy country where they will hug you but now not so much and they will shy away a lot too now I think it just another way of being that´s all not that they don´t feel for you. It all depends with me how the saying sorry for their loss comes out and sometimes I usually just touch their arm very lightly and the rest comes from the heart. There again a lot of people don´t want you to even touch them so it makes it a bit difficult to know how to say what you are trying to say.

Sometimes words are unnecessary. Just being there, giving them a hug of condolence says a lot more than words ever will.

Yes, last Monday my cousin’s daughters Aunt was murdered, I was definitely at a loss for words!

I have experienced that when our favorite cat Garkitty was poisoned by a heartless, unknown neighbor. We're all affected in the family.

I think that a big hug is worth all the words in the world.

It does not really matter what we say, it won't change the situation. I always just try to be honest and say what is on my heart.

It is not easy .

I usually express my sympathies and offer my prayers to them.

It’s always a sad occasion, but hugs and tears of sympathy say a lot depending who has passed.

people give lots of advice but only that people know how that pain is of that things.

No I don't because I have lost so many. Sometimes no words are needed. Hugs work really good.

I’m a weird one and loss doesn’t bother me. But the best thing you can usually say is sorry for your loss or some variation of that.

Usually just that is comforting..saying something is usually better than nothing, or sometimes just a hug is good.

Yes, it's hard to tell them how sorry I am for their loss.

Yes, I have a real hard time finding the right words.

It's never easy.

yes ma'am, 'tis 'lways most diff'cult to find words ya feel 'll be 'f comfort durin' those most tryin' times.

Sometimes just being there means more than words. It's never easy to find the right words.
