How to Support the Recently Bereaved; Say 'This' not 'That'

Have you ever been confused about what to say to someone that has lost a loved one or is going through a grief and loss experience? Have you, a griever, ever felt invalidated or frustrated by the "support" shared by well-meaning support people? Both of these experiences are totally normal and natural. Is a little scary to confront grief head on as a support person~ those of you in that space, worrying about the "right" thing to say indicates great love and care for your griever. Here I've addressed 10 things that are often said that may* not fall the way that you intend for them to and 10 things to try saying instead that may* feel more supportive and validating to your griever. We are all learning and growing through grief, love and life. The more we know the more helpful we can be as we walk these paths with each other. I sincerely hope that this offering helps even just one person. Are you a griever looking for support in your Grief Walking process? Ide be honored to arrange a free consultation for you.
