As a follow-up to yesterday’s question, what was the very BEST advice or remark you received in the days-weeks-months after losing your loved one? What was most helpful, most touching, most understanding?

I’m writing an article on the best and worst things to say to someone who is grieving and you can help me by sharing what helped you the most.

Most people want to say the right things, they just don’t know how. Our society encourages us to sweep death and grief under the rug. My aim is to clean house and get the topic out on the table in a loving way.
