Words of Sympathy

When someone loses a loved one or is dealt a tragedy, people often feel the need to say something profound, soothing or meaningful. They do this not for selfish reasons, but because they genuinely care. People want to help and often feel that a kind catch-phrase will make it all better.

Sometimes, though, the presence of a friend is all the strength one needs, for often the best words are no words at all.
