One of my dad's big lines was "don't sweat the small stuff."
When my father passed away, I had a friend who's father passed away when he was very young. At my father's wake he pulled me aside and said:
"Andrew, I know everyone is telling you how sorry they are right now, and I know it doesn't really make you feel any better. People just don't know what to say at a time like this... I will be honest with you though and tell you from my experience. It never gets any easier, but you will get used to it."
That was probably the most honest, and most helpful consolation anyone could have given me...

Glad I read that Andrew.
Makes me think, "Time heals all wounds, and the scar left behind the memory."
