Do say:
- These are normal reactions to a disaster
- It is understandable that you feel this way
- You are not going crazy
- It wasn't your fault, you did the best you could
- Things may never be the same, but they will get better, and you will feel better
Don't say:
- It could have been worse
- The bible says all things work together for your good
- It's best if you just stay busy
- I know just how you feel
- You need to get on with your life
Our human desire is to try and fix everything. Don't try to fix the survivor's painful situation or make the survivor feel it will work out overnight.
