Grief is a complex and personal journey. It is a highly individualized experience, and each person grieves in their own way and at their own pace. It is important to remember that there is no right or wrong way to grieve. When supporting a loved one who is grieving from a loss, it is essential to allow them the space and support they need to process their loss in their own unique way. For us to give them the appropriate support they need, here are some ways to help someone who is grieving:

• Offer Your Presence
  

  Offering your presence and being there for the person can make a big difference. It is important to ensure that you are available to listen and offer support whenever they need it.

• Validate Their Feelings
  

  Acknowledge and validate their feelings, even if they can be overwhelming or confusing. Let them know that their emotions are normal and that it is all right for them to grieve in their own way and at their own pace.

• Avoid Minimizing Their Plans
  

  Instead of saying things like “time heals all wounds” or “they’re in a better place,” offer genuine words of comfort and support. Remember, it is important to allow the grieving person to express their pain without attempting to minimize or fix it.
