SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS not helpful!

Sorry to mention this (and I state this with alot of love) but some of us who have been confronted with Death find this statement offensive!

SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS!

If a friend of yours experiences this please be cautious about how you confront them! No need for apologies!

This term was created by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, a Swiss psychiatrist who did amazing work with death and dying, and helped to revolutionize the Hospice movement.

However those of us who have moved through the horrific experience of a very traumatic death find certain statements offensive.

This is my personal top 10!

1) SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS (I didn’t lose my wallet lol)

2) Oh That’s the worse thing that can happen!

3) Haven’t you gotten over it yet?

4) Why didn’t you do something?

5) Oh I can’t imagine that!

6) What if it happens to me?

7) I couldn’t live anymore!

8) I would kill myself if it happened to me!

9) How can you live now?

10) That’s what God wanted or it was their destiny!

Sorry but the statements are not comforting or helpful in the process of grieving!
