I do think sometimes people just don’t know what to say, so they say something stupid. So, yes, your post is a service – pointing out the bad and suggesting much better alternates. I’ve shared.

I am so sorry for your loss and may you find the peace that you are looking for.

Very callous! Especially the life insurance one! Seriously? How can anyone think that is appropriate to say to someone who just lost a loved one? The last one I can give leeway with. I wouldn’t say it to the person who is grieving though I don’t think.

I know that you were very close with your mother. I think people say those things when they feel awkward and don’t know what to say, unfortunately.

However I’ll cut them slack in that so few have any clue what to say never mind how to say it!!
It is usually those who are fortunate enough to not have suffered a loss who say the stupidest things
