Hello! I found your Story on Read & Review. I'm with the "The WDC Angel ArmyOpen in new Window. I enjoyed reading it and I hope you find this feedback useful.





My impression of this piece:
I know what it's like to lose a loved one because I've experienced it, when I lost my dad at 16 years of age and that day wasn't easy for me. What I think of your advice, you brought up a good pointers on what to say and not say when a loved one has passed. What I liked about the advice you gave, it even would help me on how to say something without hurting someone's feelings. You are giving a valuable information.



Grammar and Spelling:
No spelling or Vocabulary errors.


What I really liked:
When you mention about privacy, I think that's important because the family member can grief and give them time to heal. I understand it's not easy to lose someone you have known for a very long time. Another, I like the fact that you took pictures of your wife to your work. I wouldn't have never thought about it. I still have pictures of my parents and my cat. I also lost my cat in 2021 and she was a family, who I miss a lot as well.


Suggestions:
None


Final Thoughts / Side Notes:
Well, I read this page through and it gives very good pointers on how to talk to a family member. When I lost my mom in March 2023, it was hard to deal with it because my mom and I didn't get along for years. In 2022, I did try to make amends with her and I did talk to her there after as well. One of the things that was hard, she was fighting cancer at the time but she was in remission, it was gone but it came back and I didn't take the news well because I wanted more time to patch things up with my mom. I do miss her so much but I know in my heart, I will see her someday.


Thank you so much for sharing this,
Beacon
