Many people, besides saying “Hamakom Yenacheim” add on in yiddish “zahl du mehr nisht vissin fuhn kein tzahr, nar fuhn simchos”. Loosely translated, “you should know not further know from any “pain”, only from happy occasions” (as taught to me by my grandparents). Since Mrs. CTL does not know yiddish and it is more than 30 days after the petirah so “Hamakom Yenacheim” is not said, I gave her the yiddish saying. My aunt always tells me that “simchos” should be “smachot”.
