What Can
You Do to Help Someone Who is Grieving?
Be present and available.
Listen.
Speak the name of the person who has died.
Talk about the person who has died/share a fond memory.
Allow person to grieve - don't be afraid of their tears.
Allow people to feel their pain. Walk with them, let them deal
with their emotions in helpful and healing ways.
Encourage people to take care of themselves...to eat good
nourishing food, to rest, to exercise.
Encourage them to talk with their clergy person, school
counselor, or a trusted adult.
Encourage them to listen to the wisdom within...to discover the
healing power of the inner spirit.
