Dealing with Grief
The best way to help a friend who has lost a loved one is to be compassionate and to actively listen to what they have to say. Your physical presence and desire to listen without judging can be a great help in your friend’s healing process. Simply listen and understand, and give your friend permission to express his or her feelings without fear of criticism. Allow your friend to express all the hurt, sorrow, and pain they are experiencing. Recognize that tears are a natural and appropriate expression of the pain associated with death.
