what do i say to someone who has lost a mother?

Answer 1

Not much.
Meaning - just listen to them if they need someone to talk to. Losing a loved on to death is a horrific thing to go through. If you haven't gone through losing a mother, do not say you know how it feels, cause you'd be lying. Just console them and let them know you are there if they need someone to talk to or someone to just lean on.

Say you don't know how they feel, but if you could take some of the pain away, you would!

Just be there for them.
Hope this helped! ♥

When i tell you this, listen carefully. If you have not lost your own mother, in order to relate to this person, then there really is nothing you can do, but to not mention it. You express one time, that you are sorry for their loss, but at the same time, it is the worst thing you can do, by saying you totally understand. Because in my mind i feel that you really can't understand unless you've had the same exact pain. Not to be mean, it's just that i realized that the other day when my step mom's mother died, and i felt so upset, so i told her, i'm sorry for her lose, and usually i can cheer up anyone, but it hurts me knowing that i can't even understand what you are going through right now. You know what she told me, she said that she was glad i said that because everyone else has said they understand, and she told me that she hated hearing that, because they really couldn't. i hope i've helped.

did you look under the couch? okay sorry but i couldn't resist i get kinda weird about death I think you're supposed to say my condolences and if you need anything I'm here for you then you give them a huge amount of food since after the loss of a close relative like that most people aren't able to keep it together to cook and you check on them after a couple of days and make sure they're handling it okay. My brother died last year and people were very supportive of our family, I live clear across the country flew back for the funeral and all stay a couple weeks to be there for my mom and when i flew home do you know people i hadn't heard from since 8 th grade were calling all the way across the country to see i was okay.

Everyone is at a lost as to what they should say to someone who've lost a loved one. No amout of comforting words can soothe the pain.
The usual expression, "l'm sorry for your loss. l deeply symphatize", would convey a heartfelt expression of condolence.
lf a close friend, a hug would be comforting. Just being by their side during those times would mean a lot.

Answer 5

I lost my father in oct '06. It was devastating. Tell your friend you love them, you are there for them, offer hugs and a shoulder to cry on.
They will always miss her, and always hurt, but the pain will ease slowly. Just make sure they know how much you care. That's what helps, knowing you're not alone.

Answer 6

sometimes, when someone's grieving, they hate it when people keep sending their condolences as if reminding them. However, just be there for her whenever she needs you. Just be supportive with a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on.
