Hi,

I have been reading all the good posts on this subject. If you are comfortable with whatever response you have and it is heartfelt, that comes across to the other person as sincere. If you know that person well, they know you and will be grateful for whatever you say. If you don’t know that person well, it doesn’t matter what you say as long as it is genuine and , in the midst of their grief, they probably will not remember much of what anyone says.

It really doesn’t matter…go with your instinct and your personality .

This is a thought-provoking response for me because I vividly remember some responses I received. Some “instinct” responses can be hurtful. Be kind.
