What was the most comforting condolence sentence you ever heard? | Ask MetaFilter - http://ask.metafilter.com/237676...
Demek ki klişe gibi görünen laflar aslında işe yarıyor. Zor zamanlarda orijinal olacağız diye kastırmamak lazım. Klişeler boşuna klişe olmuyor. - Kaan Öztürk
Öyle galiba. Onun dışında da içten gelen bi şekilde denilen şeyler, yanında olduğunu hissettiren şeyler anlamlı/faydalı oluyor galiba. Anı paylaşılması iyi geldi demiş bazıları da. - mkz
Faruk gündüz ikinci yarısını görememişim ipad'de, şimdi gördüm. Buraya da alayım: "_I don't know what to say_, people wrote, or, _Words fail_. What amazed me about all the notes I got---mostly through e-mail, because who knew how to find me?---was how people _did_ know what to say, how words _didn't_ fail. Even the words _words fail_ comforted me. Before Pudding died, I'd thought condolence notes were simply small bits of old-fashioned etiquette, important but universally acknowledged as inadequate gestures. Now they felt like oxygen, and only now do I fully understand why: to know that other people were sad made Pudding more real. My friend Rob e-mailed me first, a beautiful and straightforward vow to do anything he could to help me. Some people apologized for sending sympathy through the ether; some overnighted notes; it made no difference to me. I read them, and reread them. They made me cry, which helped. They _moved_ me, that is to say, they felt physical, they budged me from the sodden self-disintegrating lump I otherwise was." - mkz
