Never Say "Let Me Know If"
Summary
Jefferson Fisher advises against saying "let me know if you need anything" to grieving friends, as it burdens them with decision-making. Instead, he recommends taking specific actions like bringing dinner or doing chores without asking. He also suggests avoiding open-ended questions and false positivity, urging listeners to simply affirm the person's pain and offer silent, consistent support.
