It can and does ring hollow when trying to offer sympathy. In cases like that, it's often best to just shut up and let them talk, or even just sit in the silence for a little while. Sometimes the best thing we can do is just tell them is to offer to pray with them, and make sure they know they'll be in your prayers. Many times, that will provide more comfort and sympathy for the family than any cliche out there.Father Cory Stichahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16426512153670141621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-206524469710613848.post-39289504523369976122009-12-11T22:33:46.310-06:002009-12-11T22:33:46.310-06:00Prayers are coming from Indiana!

It was a so hard and I never knew what to say or how to say it and if I was saying the right thing. Being my best friend she opened up to me about facing death and talked open and candid. I sat quietly and listened to her talk about facing death in the eye. She was amazing at the end had no fears. I understand no knowing what to say, but from experience say everything you can now because you never know what tomorrow may bring.......<br />Prayers for the family and friends,<br />Marie Wimsettj3khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912074509536294543noreply@blogger.com
