Good short little article and I agree with the message. "Sorry about your loss" is basic but is metered due to respect. I've family members who haven't gone to each others funerals and it's stupid in my opinion.

On a separate note I think the author's bio is a bit pretentious

What's pretentious about it?

Traveling around the world working random jobs to end up back home in law school. I don't see why it's relevant for their bio and comes across as lacking objectivity.

Interesting how much NPR articles changed in 20 years
