Maybe one day we'll talk about the dos and don'ts (says and not-says?) when offering your condolences to someone

Someone said I shouldn't worry because I'll also die soon and I'll see my brother again

I'm sure he meant well but yhoo!

Then the usual: "God has taken him. He gives and He takes".

But has God really?
God doesn't kill people, does He?
God is life and death came with sin (Satan)
So are we not wrongfully blaming God?

Besides, before you say something like that, who told you I'm a Christian?

"Don't cry. Time will heal. It's ok".

For real? I shouldn't allow myself to feel the pain and grieve?

I'm probably overreacting because of the state of my heart right now but don't tell me time will heal. Time vele will heal but how about right now?

It's ok? What's ok?

"What happened?"

He died - That's what happened.
No offence at all but is it necessary to know all the details and how someone actually died? Will you sympathise more if you know exactly what happened?

I'm genuinely asking.

I probably think too much for my own good

"Death is part of life... I remember when my so and so died. It really hurt"

I get what you're trying to do. You're trying to convince me that you actually really truly understand what I'm feeling EXCEPT you really don't

We've all lost people yes but every loss is different

The Best

A brief condolences and then talk about something completely unrelated and get the mind off things. End up laughing and talking about other things.

Anyways, this is just me. There are no rules to these things
It's the thought that counts
