Instead Try These Empathetic Statements: You must feel as though the pain will never end. You must really be sad; let me hug you again. I would like to come by tomorrow and… It isn’t fair, is it? I am available to visit with you. Can I call you tomorrow? Take all the time you need. Tell me some special memories when you were a child… My favorite memory of your loved one is… I know what a beloved family member your dog was, my heart goes out to you. You are not alone, I am here for you.
