    You're wrong on both counts and WITH THAT BEING SAID, I'm sorry that I can't control myself :D

    Hee hee. Ok. Thanks for saying it to me. :D

    For all intensive purposes. What?

    Right, it doesn't make any sense because that's not the saying. It's "For all intents and purposes".

    When a family member/loved one dies and someone tells you 'they're in a better place'. Makes me want to tell this person I wish THEY were in that same 'better place'.

    It's even worse for a parent whose lost a child.

    Yes! I just had this convo with some friends this morning. As a parent that has lost a child, there's no better place for her but here with her family. Period. And don't tell me "he has a plan". His plan sucks.

    You may not believe it but what if they do ?
    They can't express there love ?

    Sometimes in a time of loss it's better to not say much and just let them know you are very sorry and you will be there for them. If I don't believe it, then I don't want someone telling me that I should believe it as I am burying my child.

    People who know you would know if you believe or not .. then they would know what to say .

    The people closest to me yes, but in that situation you start hearing from people you haven't talked to in 10 years. I know the intent is good and kind but it got completely overwhelming and people say some really dumb stuff in those situations. Hence, keep it short and sweet unless you are close to that person.

    I just want to say I am sorry for you're loss ((( hugs )))

    Thank you.

    And I am not trying to argue, I just know that no matter what you were to say to me at that time, there was absolutely nothing that would have taken that pain away. So please don't make it worse with what you do you say.

    (And I don't mean you in particular just people in general)

    I am so sorry for your loss. I can’t fathom the pain you must have felt or are still feeling. I wish I could offer more comfort than that.

    A number of years ago a relative and her husband lost their child only a couple weeks after his birth and one of the biggest aholes I've ever met (family 'friend') told her "It just wasn't meant to be. God needed him more."

    Crap like that infuriates me.

    It's been many years but the hole and pain are always there. I use her to advocate and help others when I can.

    I still really don't understand what it means, anyone that gets that wasted looks stupid no matter what.

    Sometimes it just feels like such a generic thing to say. The "they're in a better place" Has been reserved for people who I know went through a lot of pain and suffering before their death. I guess in my mind, I find comfort knowing they are no longer suffering. But yes "I'm sorry for your loss, and I am here if you need me" has become my go to for the most part anymore. I just hope the people I say it to know I really mean it.

    "That's so adorbs." or "That's "adorkable!"

    What's wrong with the word "adorable"?

    "You my boo" or "He's my boo" or "I got you, boo.". No. No. No. When you call someone "boo", I feel like you're calling them something you would call your dog, not someone you are seeing romantically.

    "Beau" is okay, although I'd rather not hear anyone under the age of 50 using that term because it just seems.. awkward.

    I hope we can agree to disagree. In my experience, "they're in a better place" has also been used for people who died suddenly. Everyone is entitled to their personal belief about an afterlife. I'll give some wiggle room for a loved one who wasted away from cancer, etc. but my personal belief is that this life is it so someone telling me my father is in a better place means [expletive deleted] all to me. A sincere expression of sympathy and offer of a shoulder to cry on means so much more. To me.

    When someone quotes something from the urban dictionary......there is rarely anything urban about it.....pop culture, sure....urban, hardly.
