Try to put a positive spin on the death
It’s best to recognize that it’s not your job to cheer up a person who is mourning. As a friend, you should just be there to help them get through the process. Trying to positively spin their loved one’s passing by saying things like, “But isn’t it wonderful that she gets to be with the Lord?” While the intent may pure, it feels disingenuous, as though you can’t get beyond your churchiness long enough to allow a person to feel sadness.
