What to say when someone you don't know dies?

When someone you don’t know dies, it can be tricky to figure out the right things to say. One of the easiest things you can say is that you will be there for the people affected if they need someone to talk to or cry at. Don’t be pushy on learning how the deceased passed unless those affected are comfortable with sharing. If someone does confide in how the person passed, say your condolences and try to make them feel better without forcing joy on them. Keep your tone light, caring, and loving.
