When couples disagree on how to comfort grieving friends

My husband and I are both trying to support our friend who lost her daughter, but he keeps saying things like 'everything happens for a reason' and 'she's in a better place' and I can see how much it hurts her. We can't agree on how to help without making it worse.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
