Things That Help With Grief

Being there in presence:
Being able to be there for someone in person and being able to hold them and talk to them, letting them cry in your own arms, your presence can do a lot for them because in that moment, grief is taking a toll on them. Having a person there with them will lighten their mood. This shows genuine empathy towards the person grieving.
Checking up on the person:
Checking up on someone while they are experiencing grief is such a massive thing because people tend to think they need to only check on the person on the first day, and that will be it now, because that person is still trying to process this loss they are having. You really realize that your loved one is gone and is not coming back, as friends and family. We need to stop at the narrative that checking up just on the day of, or once or twice, is enough, because this person is going through one of the hardest things they have probably experienced.
Offering to help them with a task:
While grieving, you could have kids and have many things you had to do before you received such horrible news, and having someone come and ask what can I do for you, or do you want me to clean for you, is such a big gesture and help because in that moment, you are going through a lot. You have so much to take care of, kids, while processing this grief. Having someone help takes so much weight off.
