When siblings struggle to comfort their grieving parent

My sister and I both keep saying the wrong things to our mom after dad died and we can't figure out how to talk to her without making it worse. We mean well but somehow our attempts to comfort her always seem to backfire and now she's pulling away from both of us.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Sometimes the people closest to grief feel most helpless in the face of it, and well-meaning words become another source of pain.
