Food for thought

I've been reading comments on our page in relation to families that have lost loved ones, we have over 1000 comments so we are unable to respond to all. However some observations and some guidance to consider what not to say and what an alternative can be

DO NOT SAY
1. I know how you feel
2. At least they lived a long life
3. They are in a better place
4. Everything happens for a reason
5. It was their time
6. BE STRONG - we like using this one
7. At least you still have ###
8. Time heals all wounds
9. Let me know if you need anything

ALTERNATIVE
1. Im sorry for your loss
2. Im here for you, if you need a shoulder anytime
3. I care for you deeply I cant begin to imagine what your going through
4. Would it help little
if I cooked ordered some food for you?

Happy for people to disagree with me in a orderly and constructive manner. Let's build rather than break.

The Devi show has caused allot of panic, we are willing to assist clients who find themselves with a funeral parlor that is not with an underwriter speak to us we can help.
