Hello,

I just joined (photographer) and am trying to learn as much as I can. Reading about what to say to grieving parents...I am hispanic and the way we express our condolences seems to be very appropriate. We say...Te acompano en tu pesar....translation... I accompany you in your sorrow.

Having some hosipce experience, I found that most of our families appreciated most being listened to...letting them cry and sometimes telling their stories over and over.

Terry-That is a beautiful phrase.

And definitely, letting parents talk. Our children are our favorite subject...
