I would be asking more for the hypothetical type of situation.

Yep, I’m good now thanks.
Before I lost someone myself, I always felt awkward about bringing it up, as if I’d be reminding them of something painful they’d forgotten and wouldn’t want to remember.
When it was my loss, the acknowledgments felt like someone cared.

That was always my favorite part of bread. I like the end cuts from meatloaf too.

Why? We live in a world of material abundance where the bigger problem is eating too much food rather than not enough. Why force them to eat food that both unappetizing and not particularly nutritious?

It’s hard to come up with evidence that would change your mind, because if you knew it you would already have changed your mind. It’s on the person arguing to pay attention to what the other person sees as important and engage that way.

For sure bud, hope you’re good anyway, it’s a shitty thing.

Where I am they slice the heel much thinner than the rest of the slices because it's widely-accepted that the heel is generally not wanted.

Absolutely, use whatever words feel right for you. The point is to acknowledge the loss, and it doesn’t have to be a big discussion (of course it can be, depending on the relationship) That’s all I was trying to say.

Also maybe something other than “ sorry for your loss” or worse “my condolences to you and your family”. After a bit, those particular words are almost infuriating coming in from everywhere.
Just let them know you love them and your there if needed. Original comment is valid, I suggest just doing it differently.

A basic but handy framework for teaching folks a skill is the EDGE method. Explain the task, Demonstrate how to carry out the task, Guide the student through performing the task, then Enable them to do it on their own until proficient.
Beyond that, I would suggest building rapport with your student(s) to understand their starting point, breaking down your craft into clear learning objectives and tangible measures of success. Then, use that to build a pathway (curriculum) of bite-sized steps that build on one another. And most of all be open to trying new approaches and taking feedback from your students to improve it over time. Students make great teachers if you listen.

My dad is 73, and my mom could slit her throat for all I care. I cherish every day I walk into the front room and he's sitting on that rocking chair on the porch.

Lmao my mom used to give me eucalyptus oil with honey. The honey/ syrup barely helped.

Pro tips- studies show a small amount of pineapple juice and/or spoon full of honey are more effective to soothe your cough than cough syrup! You don’t have to worry about taking too much either.

Also, please don’t let awkwardness keep you from offering your condolences to a friend that’s lost a parent. All you have to say is “Hey, I heard about your Mom/Dad, sorry for your loss”.
You can’t take away what’s happened, or lessen the grief, but it’s appreciated all the same. I’ve lost both parents in the last 5 years and was grateful when people acknowledged what I was going through in even a simple way.
