One of the hardest times in a woman’s life is when she loses the father of her children. Women find it hard to accept the fact that the man they loved so much is no more. If you are attending a burial of a widow then you should be careful when addressing her. Never say these 5 things to a widow
1. I’m divorced, we share the same pain
Never remind the widow that you can replace the deceased. You do not know what makes them connected. There is nothing that can replace someone you truly loved.
2. I know how you feel. I also lost my wife
You can never tell how someone feels. It is painful when someone says he or she understands your pain. There are better words you can tell her when she is bereaved.
3. Your man is in a better place
Have you ever died? No one who is alive knows where the dead go. Although we all believe that our souls rest in eternal peace when we die, we cannot prove the same. Never tell her you know where the deceased is.
4. It was God’s plan
Well, death is inevitable. However, it is hard to believe that someone you shared good times with is no more. You have to be prepared for the worst as you live in this world. Time will come when someone will be no more.
