[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Sorry for your loss". Can't you remember the person's name or role in the bereaved person's life (e.g your mother, your brother)?[/quote] Wut [/quote] Can't you say "I was sorry to hear that your mother passed away", instead of saying "'I'm sorry for your loss", as if you can't remember if it was your friend's mother, father or investment portfolio that suffered a loss. [/quote] People who say this are (respectfully) honoring a well-established ritual concerning showing support/sympathy for a grieving person. “I’m sorry for your loss” is actually PRECISELY the correct thing to say. If you, personally, expect more, then I encourage you to examine your own words/behaviors around YOUR grieving friends/relatives, which are almost certainly some combination of attention-seeking or inappropriate. In other words, YOU are the problem.[/quote]
