You might find it awkward. You might worry you'll say the wrong thing. You might not have experienced it yourself. Don’t let your worries and fears stop you from being there for someone when they need you more than ever. Being there and listening to someone who is grieving can make a huge difference to them.

After experiencing any sort of grief ourselves we are then far more receptive & aware to others in the same situation & can usually say the right things when needed!
Grieving is a natural process we have to go through , also very unique to each individual . We cannot fix or magic away grief. Helping someone to navigate/ recognise the stages which are normal as we may go back and forth between these stages, by listening being with someone gives space .. again recognition & to assist with the healing process. Acceptance that life will not be the same but moving forward with life . We don’t get over our losses . Becoming aware of the triggers to loss is beneficial. Death is part of life son being able to talk about our experiences is part of the healing process.🙏💕🙏

4 years after the death of my Civil partner from prostate cancer at 64 I find my family and close friends the most supportive of me in my grief

A lot less doing and a lot more being, it's that simple maybe. Saying that, the odd home made lasagna or picking up bits at the shop or running the hoover around will likely be welcome too even if right now, eating, shopping or cleaning may not feel a very high priority.

Grief is a journey, & there’s no set time on reaching one’s destination. Grief is the price we pay for loving.

6moSaying nothing and crossing the street or stopping the phone calls is worse for the grieving person as it isolates them and on a subconscious level they believe their grief is somehow wrong and not accepted. I hear this a lot from clients and it is so saddening
