what to say to someone who is grieving


  • I am so sorry for your loss.
  • I wish I had the right words, just know I care.
  • I don’t know how you feel, but I am here to help in anyway I can.
  • You and your loved one will be in my thoughts and prayers.
  • My favorite memory of your loved one is….
  • I am always just a phone call away.
  • Give a hug instead of saying something.
  • We all need help at times like this, I am here for you.
  • I am usually up early or late, if you need anything.
  • Saying nothing, just be with the person
