I felt what you have just put into words . My bestie lady friend , ( I am a male ) has just found out that her youngest son age 36 has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer , all over with very little chance of making it through . I am living in UK and she is in South Africa so I cannot just go around there . I agonised about what to say to her in response to this terrible news . I gave it some thought by applying what |I felt in my soul was the right thing to say --- Hey My lovely ________ , I have no words that will fix anything or make a difference . You are my lovely friend and in my heart and soul wish you and _________ and your family the strength to get through this however it goes . WAs That an appropriate response , I am so sad for her .

Thank you for this wonderful video! When my husband died a few years ago, I responded to those who sincerely were sorry about his death. Those who sat with me, walked with me, ate with me with their full presence brought healing to my heart. Platitudes annoy and irritate. This video will help me do the same for a friend who is grieving the loss of her father. Beautifully and simply done!

This is so true. I'm going through this. This is the best advice I've heard

Acknowledgement of the depth of the pain. To ask the grieving person if they want to talk about it, instead of making small talk. What I've found is that the person in grief wants to talk about their person, or whatever the grief stems from. If it's a person, talking about them keeps their memory alive and is comforting, even if painful at times.

Full of wisdom. Shared this one.

My best friend's son is dying of cancer (51)and her daughter-in-law has just been diagnosed with breast cancer. Her pain is overwhelming. This video could not have come at a better time.
I think that we undervalue the act of listening.

Thank you. I am grieving…
