To someone in grief, a short gentle word beats advice or fixing. Say something kind, and mean it.
You do not need to solve their loss. A soft, sincere word lands better than any counsel.
With someone grieving, offer your presence more than your words. Sit with them; let silence be enough.
You do not need the right thing to say. Being there, quietly and again and again, is the help.
