In an effort to offer comfort, people often say hurtful things to grieving people.
• Don’t be sad, they’re in a better place now
• God doesn’t give you more than you can handle
• You need to be strong like your sister, brother, or cousin
• I guess this was just God’s will
• At least you have other children
• What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
• You need to get over this
• It’s been 6 months… and you’re still crying?
• Maybe now is a good time to work on you
• I know how you feel
• I went through a tough time like that too
• You have your whole life ahead of you
• You’re going to be fine
• You’re lucky they died peacefully
• Something good will come out of this
• God works in mysterious ways
• Call me if you need anything
• Think how much better you will be this time next year!
• You’ll find another husband – there are a lot of fish in the sea
• I just want my (friend, mom, dad, sister, brother) back
