Sharing – 11 Things to Say When Someone Dies Besides ‘I’m Sorry’

It’s something I’ve talked about before, but most of us have no idea of what to do or say when someone is grieving. If my experiences at the funerals of my and my wife’s parents are any indication, there are a lot of people who feel the need to say something and might want to think twice about that.

As the article below says:

It’s hard to summon any words when someone dies—let alone the right ones.

If someone you know is grieving the passing of a loved one, take a look at this article and pay special attention to the ones that talk about sharing memories. I am not Jewish, so I don’t quote this exactly, but I draw inspiration from a traditional Jewish saying about death – “May their memory be a blessing.”

I find that memories are the best things to hold on to. They truly are a blessing.
