‘In response to the death of a loved one:
“They’re in a better place now.”
‘I get it. You’re trying to say they’re not suffering anymore. But this is so unhelpful and can even be hurtful to someone in the midst of deep grief. How is this “place” better than with their loved ones, doing the things they enjoyed in their favorite locations?
‘This is especially cruel if the deceased was a child or someone who passed away very suddenly, or under violent circumstances. To the bereaved, this saying is like driving a knife into a salt-filled wound.
‘When you don’t know what to say to someone who is grieving, the best things to do are to simply say, “I’m sorry,” or offer a hug or other emotional support. Well-intentioned platitudes can feel like words laced with poison when someone is hurting.’
