What do you normally say to a friend who recently faced the death of their loved ones?

Some people would say takziah my condolences I'm sorry etc but that hardly makes them feel any better right?

Did you say the takziah words just for the sake of saying?

God's will brother. accept it.

if u close enough to the person, probably let them know u are willing to listen to their griefs?

idk man, everything else feels too phony

Depends on ur closeness with that person.

If he's normal friend/acquaintance, say takziah/my condolences/I'm sorry etc.

If close friend, tell him you'll always be there for him/her.

Truth is, words could only bring very little comfort. He/she is bound to endure it. It's just whether it will be alone or not.

tell your friend her loved one is spending an eternity playing angelic music on heavenly harps

节哀顺变 owai...

anything but padan muka

Cool story bro

you dont say anything. speak when you're spoken to and just be there.

Haha that's what I usually do. I feel like I don't have the right to say anything to them since I never really give much attention to their life before. So I just shut myself up.

ppl usually ask how did it happen and when was the burial.

Deal with it.

that's helpful

"thats bout it'

Allah sayangkan dia.

i just speak normally like it never happened.

Personal things is personal. So please dont bring it to the workplace. there is a time to cry, but work is work.

When I lost my gf, many ppl wished takziah to me and i felt nothing.

Usually I don't know what exactly to say in these situations. I just give a small 'takziah' 'innalillah' or condolences. Being beside the person is the best thing I could do, w/o saying anything.

say you are finally free!!

Good night sweet prince.

Can I offer you a hot beverage?

If that person is close to me, I will say nothing, usually people later come to me to express their grief lah.

karma

and start on smrtphone play games.

You want a physicist to speak at your funeral. You want the physicist to talk to your grieving family about the conservation of energy, so they will understand that your energy has not died. You want the physicist to remind your sobbing mother about the first law of thermodynamics; that no energy gets created in the universe, and none is destroyed. You want your mother to know that all your energy, every vibration, every Btu of heat, every wave of every particle that was her beloved child remains with her in this world. You want the physicist to tell your weeping father that amid energies of the cosmos, you gave as good as you got.

arwah baik orangnya

"I may or may not be able to help, but I'm your friend. If you ever need someone to talk to, call me."

Console them and do whatever that is necessary as a friend.

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!...
