Lesson of the day: When youre consoling a grieving friend, and you - TopicsExpress



          

Lesson of the day: When youre consoling a grieving friend, and you cant resort to platitudes like Ill pray for you, its incredibly difficult to compose words of comfort but when you do, its a lot more substantive. Ill pray for you is a very convenient band-aid; I used to say it. Not that Im doubting the sincerity of people who say it of course. Its just such an easy cover-up for saying anything more, for getting into the kernel of grief, for actually providing true solace without outsourcing it to the divine.
