KUNG NASA LAMAY...

 Q - Ano po ang magandang sabihin sa isang namatayan ng mahal sa buhay pag pupunta ako sa lamay?

A - Wala. Walang magandang sabihin.
Malamang na kung anu-anu pa ang masabi mo tulad ng
"Una-una lang talaga yan." (parang minaliit mo ang maagang pagpanaw ng yumao.
O
"I know how you feel." (You don't.)
O
"Mabuti pa sya (ang namatay) at napahinga na." (Ikaw, ayaw mong magpahinga?)
"Present in the Lord na sya. To die is gain." (Ikaw, ayaw mo pang mag-gain?)
Better not say anything, unless you really have a good, fresh, comforting word.
A gentle touch or a hug could speak volumes (though not ideal in moments like this), but only IF you are that close to the bereaved..
You presence alone is silver.
Your silence is gold.
