Finding Words of Sympathy During a Difficult TimeOffering words of sympathy to a grieving friend, family member, co-worker or even an aquaintance is one of the most difficult things we face in this life. Not knowing how to help, the fear of saying the wrong thing or coming across as inconsiderate can leave us...at a loss for words. We know that nothing we say or do can take away the pain. We know that grief cannot be fixed with a gift or flowers. We can't imagine what they are going through. We may want to avoid the whole situation altogether and get away to a less depressing place. So, what do we when faced with an opportunity to express sympathy; a chance to comfort and support somebody we care about? Deep down we know that we could easily be in their shoes...this life is fleeting. You may wonder how you would want people to treat you, if you were in their shoes? You may instantly realize all of the things that you would want others NOT to do. It is easier to come up with all the things you should not do and sympathy phrases you should avoid, but Simple Sympathy is not so much about that.
