I feel that there's no silver bullet. Not a 'one size fits all' solution. I found that people acknowledging it with a nod in silence comforting as well as people telling me how they can relate to the loss and pain I felt. It depends on the person, the relationship as well as the person being their vulnerable self. Being real and being in the moment is what I feel made it relatable. And no, it will not make the pain any better. But the interpersonal connection will nonetheless help. It was that way at least for me when my father passed away as well as when my stepdad passed away not so long ago. What I found most disturbing were random strangers giving condolences when they recognized that I was taking about a person having passed away. Think terminating the telecommunications contract.
