Day 7 is “what to
say.” There are actually about a zillion
things that are appropriate and helpful to say to someone who is hurting. I remember getting many cards that warmed my
broken heart. The sweet words that
people sent to us to tell us how sorry they were for our loss and how they were
praying for us were so comforting. It
was really nice to know that we weren’t all alone.
Almost 2 years
later, it does my heart so good to hear people just say her name. Remember my girl. Remember that we love her still and miss her
always. Tell us that you still think of
her, of us, and our family.
When
all else fails, just tell us that you’re sorry.
If you can’t think of anything to say, just say you’re sorry. If you’re terribly uncomfortable, it’ll be
obvious (and probably the opposite of helpful) if you force more, so just keep
it simple. “I’m sorry.”
