What not to say to someone who’s grieving

  • Résumé

  • Mike speaks with Michelle Moriarty, Grief Expert, Social Worker, and Founder of Grief Connect, about what not to say to someone who’s grieving.

    Grief is deeply personal, yet many struggle with what to say. Well-meaning comments can unintentionally worsen isolation. Based on her experience as a young widow, Michelle shares the top five things to avoid:

    1. Everything happens for a reason.
    2. I know how you feel.
    3. Don’t worry, you’ll meet someone else.
    4. They’re in a better place.
    5. You need to move on.

    The best support comes from acknowledging grief with empathy and compassion. Do you feel unsure about comforting someone who’s grieving?
