Reposting, because we can always use a helpful reminder when choosing our words. đź’š
When someone dies, most of us struggle to find the “right” words to say to the grieving family, because we so desperately want to offer even the tiniest bit of comfort.
We worry about saying the wrong thing, so we overthink every sentence or sometimes even say nothing at all.
In all truth, there are no perfect words, but there are words that can comfort and words that can unintentionally wound. You don’t have to fix someone’s grief or make it make sense.
Simply showing up, acknowledging their loss, and letting them know they’re not alone often means far more than finding the “perfect” thing to say.
