How original DO you need to be

It's always difficult to say something to the next of kin when a loved one passes. You might end up with some cliches, because they tend to work somewhat. But after some time even such overuse will miss the intended effect... a level of comfort, a sense of support.

Then again, if you end up saying something truly original, is that what you really intended to do? Mustn't you actually utter a cliche ion the first place, just to get along? Would the bereaved actually notice a genuine thought actually entering their ears?
