+237 Why do people say "Don't worry, he/she died painlessly and instantly" when a loved one dies. It's not like after they say that you're gonna be like "Oh okay, my mom just died but it didn't hurt her, so i'm not sad." amirite?

i think what people mean when they say things like that, is that when your loved one dies, he or she shouldn't suffer or have any pain; in the same sense people say that he or she is at peace when they die.

Would you rather them say something along the lines of "Well, it took ten hours, but she finally kicked the bucket. The pole from the top of the other car came crashing through the windsheild, severing her leg, but at least she was aware and able to contemplate this it-- well, she would have if she hadn't been slowly burned alive by hot oil. Burger-King-On-Wheels was never a good idea. But her funeral will smell like French fries!"

People say that because we're all trained to feel like we have to make everything sound positive, like we'll always 'it'll be fine though' after telling someone a problem, or automatilcally saying 'fine' when people ask how you are...
