10 WAYS TO CONSOLE A GRIEVING HEART

1- VISIT WITH THE GRIEVING AND GIVE AS MANY HUGS AS NEEDED

No words or very little words are needed at this time. If you must say something say I love you. I am here for you. Silence can be golden. If the grieving wants to talk be supportive and follow their lead.

2- ASSIST WITH DAILY LIVING ACTIVITIES

Prepare and plan meals and snacks for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Clean inside and outside the home. Do laundry if need be.

3- MAKE PHONE CALLS

Ask if you can make phone calls for them.

4- ASSIST WITH FUNERAL NEEDS
