Ten Ways To Support Someone Who Is Grieving
~ By Jan Tincher
How can we help and support someone who is grieving? Here are ten tips:
1. Call weekly, twice weekly, daily, or weekends, whichever is appropriate. Try to do it at the same time of day. If you call at 6 p.m. (as an example) daily, weekly, or whenever, they know when you will be calling and have something to look forward to. Once you've established a routine, throw in a surprise call and see how that is received. Maybe the person who is grieving appreciates surprises. You'll have to experiment.
2. Present new ways to work through loss
3. When you feel they are ready, take them to a funny movie or present them with a gift of several funny videos
