Details:


Someone you care about has suffered a loss. You want to support them. Instinctively, you want to offer comfort but don’t know what to say. Then, in a moment of emotional awkwardness and with the best of intentions, you say something like:

 

(1) “He’s in a better place.”


(2) “There is a reason for everything.”


(3) “Aren’t you over him yet? He's been dead for a while now?"


(4) “You can still have another child?”


(5) “She was such a good person that God wanted her to be with him.”


(6) “I know how you feel.”


‌‌‌‌➡️‌‌‌‌[*** You meant no harm; however, what you just said was neither helpful nor supportive!
