whats the best word that we can say to someone who lost his father?

Answer 1

Your condolences. I think when someone dies, we tend to feel a false responsibility that we need to make things "all better". You cannot bring the deceased back, all you can do is console the living.

The best thing to do isn't found in the use of clever words, its in ACTION. If this person is having a tough time, be THERE for them. Stay around them often, make sure they have shoulder to cry on. Far more important than anything you can say, is your ability to listen. Undoubtedly, someone going through a great loss will have alot of emotion to deal with. You can help this person just by listening.

That you are obviously taking care to do the right thing is commendable and a trait of a good friend. I know you'll do the right thing. My condolences to your friend for his loss.

Answer 2

I'm sorry for your loss and let him know that you will see him through this hard time. Don't stay away because you are uncomfortable being around him and are at a loss for words. Sometimes people who are grieving just need to be around other people, and during those times he may want to be alone he will let you know. Right after the death, people are busy and kept company by many family members and friends because of the funeral and family get-togethers. It's after all the commotion is over that he will need you to be there for him and spend time with him.

Answer 3

Nothing. Women are always trying to make others feel better, but the simple fact is that there is nothing you can say that will make that person feel better about losing their father. If you want to be there for your friend, listen to what he or she has to say. Healing from a tradgedy is like having the food poisoning, your stomach can not start to heal until the bad food is out of your system. Right now, your friend has a lot of hurt and anger buildt up, but by pouring their heart out to a good listeners, they will began to heal.

Answer 4

You could say: "I am very sorry about your loss of your father." Then, if you really care deeply for the person you could tell them: " I will be here for you whenever you need me." You could cook a special dish for that person, send a nice card and/ or flowers. if you were very close, be sure to attend the funeral and offer to help wherever you can.

Answer 5

Don't say anything. If you haven't faced with such episode in your life (that's good), you will never understand this pain. "SORRY" is the most stupid and inappropriate word in this situation. "Everybody is sorry, but nobody understands" - this guy will think. At least you can say "You're strong enough to go on living". That's all.

Answer 6

There's nothing anyone can say..Just be there for him.
Take food to his house, help with things that need to be done for his family. and don't forget him after a week or so....lots of well meaning people say they will be there and they disappear.......My dad died a short time ago,sorry for your friend's loss.......

Answer 7

"im so sorry, if there is anything i can do let me know!"

you dont want to say anything to personal that will bring back to many memories because that just makes it worse , try to keep there mind off it but just be brief and let them know if they want to talk about it you are there for them or if they need anything you are there for them!!

Answer 8

Nothing you say or do can ever bring him back. Just be supportive and let your friend know that you are there for him/her

Answer 9

"I feel sad that your beloved father has passed away," can be said sincerely to someone if he/she is a close friend.

Answer 10

Dear Abby said it best. Don't say "it was Gods' will," or it was meant to happen. Simply say "I'm sorry."
