Preface This is a book about a shared human concern, a shared challenge, and a shared hope—how to sensitively reach out to another at a time of loss. While grief is indeed a normal process, and many people fully recover with little help, the vast majority of individuals who are mourning the death of a loved one benefit immensely from the condoling words and actions of those around them.
Chapter I Why Condole?
Condole: To express sympath or sorrow; I condoled with him in his loss. —American Heritage Dictionary
I'm So Sorry You read it in the newspaper or the telephone rings; the loved one of a friend has died. Among the thoughts that cross your mind are the desire to help in some way, to respond to your friend's sorrow and pain. The wish to condole is such a human trait, yet most of us are at a loss to acknowledge, in a caring and loving way, the grief of others.
