[Quote No.30253] Need Area: Friends > Conversation
"Winston recently lost his brother to cancer. When a dear friend failed to call him afterward, Winston was hurt. 'Why didn't Alison call?' he wondered. 'She must not care.'
Maybe Alison felt uncomfortable... Maybe she didn't know what to say... Maybe she wanted to give Winston a few days to compose himself. But whatever she was thinking, not calling as soon as she heard about his brother's death was a mistake.
When people lose someone close to them [or have any thing bad happen], they don't need silence. They need to feel that other people care - that they are not alone.
If you don't know what to say, tell them that you don't know what to say. If you feel awkward, tell them that you feel awkward. But no matter what you do, or how you convey your condolences, make sure you acknowledge their loss instead of avoiding it.
Saying something as simple as ['I am very sorry to hear of your loss' or] 'I'm so sorry for your loss' will give your friend the sympathy he [or she] needs." - Suzanne Richardson

"[A story - with a message:] 'The Fly' - There once was a Bald Man who sat down after work on a hot summer's day. A Fly came up and kept buzzing about his bald pate, and stinging him from time to time. The Man aimed a blow at his little enemy, but - whack - his palm come on his own head instead; again the Fly tormented him, but this time the Man was wiser and said: 'You will only injure yourself if you take notice of despicable enemies'." - Aesop

[Quote No.31133] Need Area: Friends > Conversation
"Criticism is something we can avoid easily by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing. [But to be honest, some would then criticise us for that too. So perhaps it's best to accept that receiving criticism is just going to happen in life whatever we do as no-one is perfect, agree calmly and politely with whatever parts we can without arguing and thereby throwing petrol on the fire, apologise where necessary, thank for anything that might help us be better next time and then forget the rest quickly.]" - Elbert Hubbard
