The Wrong Thing to Say

"I know that was dumb, but I just couldn't think of anything else to say..."

Whether it is a divorce or a COIVD diagnosis or a miscarriage, we often find ourselves at a loss for words when we're confronted with someone else's pain.

"Things are always darkest before the dawn" or
"I know just how you feel!"

Cliches, false equivalency, awkward silence...

What are some of the worst things that someone said to you when you were going through something hard?
