Helpful Delivery Statements

Providing death notifications are stressful. However, preparing yourself with helpful statements can be beneficial. You are never going to take away the pain of their loved one’s death. Saying that you are sorry and meaning it shows compassion. You may also say “this is harder than most people think”, “most people who have gone through this react similarly to you”,  “people can experience many different feelings at the same time”,  or “this may be one of the most difficult times of your life.” Sometimes a compassionate look or presence can say everything.
