J. <M from T. B. WILLIFORD Clergymen and psychologists agree that to say “Come now, buck up. Don’t take it so hard” only makes the bereaved feel worse. “Buck ing him up” sounds as though you are minimizing his loss. Honest sympathy, “Yes, it’s tough, and I sure know it is” makes your friend feel free to express grief and recover from it. The natural emotion of grief is a God - given safety valve which should not be suppressed. Respectfully, 773.
