"just reaching out to you..."
What corporate communications genius came up with that one? You can follow up with me, check back with me, get back with me, but if you try to "reach out to me", I'm gonna cut off your *kitten* hand!2 -

Or "in regards to". How about plain old "regarding"...1 -

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.8 -
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."
I heard this at least a hundred times when my daughter died. No he didn't need her more than we did. I also heard "at least you can have more". You don't know that for sure and even if I do have more, they will never replace the one lost.16 -

That you're going to give me a hug today?
You're wrong on both counts and WITH THAT BEING SAID, I'm sorry that I can't control myself
Hee hee. Ok. Thanks for saying it to me. 1 -

Right, it doesn't make any sense because that's not the saying. It's "For all intents and purposes".2 -

Everything about this is horrible.
People never know what to say when tragedy strikes and I think more often than not just showing your support is worth more than stupid platitudes.
Agreed. I understand that people get uncomfortable and awkward during times of grief, especially a child and sometimes just blurt stuff out.
I make it a point every year on her death anniversary date to remind people that when someone is grieving from a tremendous loss that less really is more. Let them know you sympathize and you will be there if they need you. No need for "extra" comforting words that may not necessarily be a comfort to them.
It will be 19 years in April and some of the things people said to me still haunt me. I can usually let things go but there's a few things in this circumstance that I just can't, despite my efforts to try.6 -

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)3 -

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.
