When someone’s life expires, for whatever reason it may be, people always tells the family that “it will get better”. Why would you say that, unless you have no heart at all. The only way it will get better is if I didn’t care that it happened. You may, in due time, learn to cope with the death, but it NEVER gets better. I understand that one reason you would say this is because you believe it will make me somehow feel better, but it doesn’t. “It will get better” doesn’t make the hurt, the pain, or the anger subside, and it never will. Never tell someone it will get better, primarily at the funeral but anytime, anywhere. No matter how long it has been since the passing. If you feel the need to say anything at all, say, “I’m sorry for your loss.”.
