"I'm sorry"
but i'm not.
I did not know him and i did not cause his death. Why do i have to say sorry?
I've been looking for a reply which acknowledges the fact someone has said "he's dead", yet does not say "i'm sorry".
Something like "I regret to hear that" - even this does not work, as you may have wanted to know the dead persons status.
Anyone wish to share a sentance thay use when thay hear someone is dead?

Freind- "My grandfather died last night"
me- "At least it's one less Chirstmas card to send out"
lets just say he didnt find it as funny as i did
usually i just say "At least there in a better place now."

Because you mentioned something painful to the person."He's dead"
"I'm sorry"
but i'm not.
I did not know him and i did not cause his death. Why do i have to say sorry?

As above, in german we say "mein herzlichstes beileid"
"beleid" means that we are suffering with them. Of course it is not easy to just forget about that sort of thing... BUT everyone does not have to suffer because of that.

trust me on this one, and don't say it to an atheist... you will receive a lecture. Unless the person is really cool, then you may be ok.usually i just say "At least there in a better place now."

I've never had a problem with it before. I am an athiest myself, I have no belief in God, Devil, Heaven or Hell.trust me on this one, and don't say it to an atheist... you will receive a lecture. Unless the person is really cool, then you may be ok.usually i just say "At least there in a better place now."
I say it because they are usually at peace now. Almost every time I have said it the person that had died was very sick, and in pain.
One time I did get somewhat of a lecture. They had said something to this extant (not exact words but pretty close) "A better place? Yeah right, he was a complete asshole, with any luck he's being tortured in hell"
Wish I still knew german :( Havnt bee able to speak it since I was young.

"You asking if he/she is okay isn't gonna help much is it?"
Then I turn to the person and say
"really though, are you okay?"
It sounds lame, but it always gets a smile.

I was just about to say, what if they aren't in a better place, what if they were evil? Then there in hell and I really doubt thats better than heaven, unless they don't have speed metal in heaven, then I want hell.
Depends in what you believe in...
