What to say to someone who has just lost a loved one
How do I steer the conversation while at lunch with someone whose wife has just died? I am in a club at work. I am meeting a man from this club for lunch and it is strictly club related. This man retired to care for his ailing wife. The day after he retired she died. What do you say to someone who just lost a loved one? I feel funny asking how he is doing...obviously he is doing horrible, his wife just died. My first impulse is to not mention her death at all but I have yet to offer my personal condolences. Outside of the club I do not know this man.

make him feel loved and cared for. if he bring it up about his wife be like yea she was loved but she is up there now and she is watchin out for you. she is in a better place right now. you cant change what happened in the past you have to move on. life doesnt end beause someone left this. tell that would he rather let her be here with him suffering and being in pain or die peacefully and be happy. i hope this helps you out. but remember dont bring up anything about his wife unless he says something.
