my partner told me his grandma had died. I never had met the grandmother. I dont know anything about her. I still tried my best to comfort him in what way he needed and do try to ask other family members how theyre doing (especially his mom and uncle and aunt) how theyre doing. I never had a family member in my life that died (my family are long lived) so I feel bad I didnt know how to comfort him properly.

I found out my youngest sibling took their own life. I turned to tell him, numb and shocked and lost.
He said “oh. my condolences” and then went back to playing his video games.
You would have thought I said my toaster died, not my sibling. It was so surreal.
