Lol What a hero and a martyr... Smh. Don't be sorry, just be genuine.

This whole post isn't about how to try to make someone who's experienced a death of a loved one feel better and get over their grief. It's about having an alternative phrase for "I'm sorry for your loss" bc that's too "underwhelming" by your own words. Who cares about any of that? That's like stressing out more over your outfit choice more than being there for your friend.

This is terrible advice. Talk about detached from reality.

Just say, I'm sorry, and move on. This isn't about you, or about making some wholesome and specific statement on the deceased. If you have to read the obituary to get material, why do you feel compelled to make some weirdly personal statement in the first place?
