Hey, Jamie - After Tina died it really struck me how much courage it takes to say condolences to people who have lost someone. I had always sort of avoided the discomfort, thinking my ill-worded thoughts and phrases wouldn't really do any good, anyway.
I feel really, really bad for all those missed opportunities. Awkward words and helpless expressions were just as comforting, and it meant someone put some real effort into saying them, or just being there.
I would say that Olivia, like all people who have recently lost someone, draws encouragement from knowing someone is thinking about her, and trying to understand her pain. When there's a whole bunch of someones, the gratitude greatly overwhelms the need for a highly articulate expression of sympathy.
