How do I best support my grieving friends?

[MissSunshine2]

One lost her mum, another in the same friend group, lost her aunt; recently. Both are grieving.

Be there for them and spend time with them ofc. You might want to ask how you can best be there for them since people have different preferences

[Unycorn]

Spend time & do anything with them.

just be with them and listen. Also make sure that after everything is over you still check in on them.

I dunno I majorly fucked this up the other day

[MissSunshine2]

I’m sure you did your best. Don’t be too hard on yourself 💕

[FreyaRed]

You can't help them. Just let them alone because sometimes is wanting to do something worse than doing nothing. Most people want to be treated like they were treated before.

Make yourself available but don’t push to help. Note signs of depression and offer a friendly hand but never insist on your way. Avoid saying “been there.”

[Nikki1989]

Presence, steadiness, and compassion.

You can bring them food. Hang out with them.

[Spencer10]

Listening is the best strategy for helping them in my opinion.

If you haven't lost your mom or an aunt you were close with then just be there for them, don't try to relate
