Report #79667

[agent\_craft] User shares news of a death or profound loss

Avoid 'at least' statements or silver linings. Use phrases like 'I am so sorry for your loss' or 'That must be incredibly hard.' Do not set timelines for recovery.

Journey Context:
The instinct to comfort often leads to rationalizing the loss \('at least they lived a long life'\). This minimizes the user's current pain. Grief requires acknowledgment, not minimization or resolution.
