[QUOTE="SacramentoMike, post: 1163370, member: 11508"] Sad news, and I'm very sorry to hear it. As for the "what can I say?" question, my answer is "I'm so sorry," in any form that comes to you. It bothers me when people tell me they didn't attend a funeral or write a sympathy card because they didn't know what to say. It's kind of been said here already, some of it in that article, but it's not about you and what you say. It's about letting your friend know you care. People are uncomfortable mentioning a tragedy like this later on, too. Suppose you don't see this friend for six months or a year. "Oh gosh, should I mention his wife? I don't want to remind him of that awful time" or something. Please believe me that you don't need to worry about that. He's ALREADY thinking about it. Every day. Just a simple human connection and a kind word or two are always welcome. [/QUOTE]
