In a time of grief, what's the dumbest thing you've heard, yet was said with the best of intentions?
For example, if you suffered a major loss in your family, and someone told you they just lost their pet hamster.

Well, at least s/he is in a better place.
Well, at least s/he didn't suffer much.
It's just a dog - go get another one.
