I never really understood it before, but now I’m a widow I hate the phrase “you’re doing well”. Like you, I think ‘if only you saw me when I’m alone!’ also, what does doing well look like? We all react differently and there cannot be one way for us all to cope after a bereavement.
I know people mean well though, but it can be tiring putting on an outward appearance so that others think we’re “doing well.”

‘How are you?’ is another line I hate. What are you supposed to answer? ‘I’m falling apart’? I keep meaning to answer that just to see what response I get but no, it would be mean to someone who is just trying to show a bit of sympathy.
