Members traveler1959 Posted February 17, 2014 Members Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 LOL--- I like the one where the guy smiled and said " So your single"-------------------------- But honestly, what does someone say to a person that lost their wife/ husband? I haven't heard anyone say anything that was mean or hateful, maybe things that bring back the memory of the pain, but it is not what they were trying to do, and if someone don't say anything to you, it like they really don't care. But in fact they don't want to say anything wrong,that would hurt you. It is one of those things where you are damned if you do and damned if you don't. My cousin died about 15yrs ago, he was about 10 yrs older then I and lived in another state, so I don't remember ever seeing him more than once or twice. I went with my father to my uncle's house and he came to meet us, and he had tears in his eyes, he reached out and grab my hands and tears came to my eyes, I looked at him and said " I don't know what to say". He looked at me and smiled and said, "There is nothing to say, you being here say it all". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members backyarder1 Posted February 18, 2014 Author Members Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Traveler, sometimes I think that is the best thing to say. Just "I don't know what to say". Someone called me yesterday and told me that someone had passed away and I found myself stumbling over my words, even though I expect everyone else to know exactly what to say to me. so you are right. There really never is any right thing to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
