You know how when people lose their grandma or grandpa, people they say they're sorry? They do mean it, but... there's nothing to say. There's a void that cannot be filled.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When you lose a loved one, you come to these crossroads. You can take the path that leads you down the aisle of sadness, or you can say, 'I'm never going to let this person's memory die. I'm going to make sure everything they worked for continues.'
If a person uses the word 'sorry' loosely then of course it loses its value.
I've always found it hard to say sorry.
It's never easy to say you're sorry.
You don't go around grieving all the time, but the grief is still there and always will be.
There is a point in the grieving process when you can run away from memories or walk straight toward them.
