    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 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.

    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.

    Thank you.

    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.

    I've been guilty of that one... I just never know the right thing to say. :grimace:

    “I’m so so for your loss. I’m here for you.”

    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"?

    That's ratchet! It's supposed to mean "trashy" but I just think of tools when I hear it.

    "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.
