Supporting another
though their grief

Supporting another through grief can be tough for many of us. What do I do, what is the best thing to say, what is the best way to support someone?

The most important help you can offer is a willing ear, for many this is easier said than done. Allow the bereaved person to talk and express their grief in whatever way they need. This may include crying, angry outbursts, screaming, laughing, expressions of guilt or regret, or engaging in activities that reduce their stress, such as walking or gardening.

You may be afraid of intruding, saying the wrong thing, or worry your presence will make matters worse at such a difficult time. Maybe you think there’s little you can do to make things better. That’s understandable but know your support and caring presence will help your loved one cope with the pain and gradually begin to heal.

Your support and caring presence will help your loved one cope with the pain and gradually begin to heal.

Also know your loved one might never get over the death of someone close. In time their pain becomes less overwhelming and there are still going to be times which may be difficult  - years or decades later. Precious friends and relatives know that they are in it for the long haul.
