How to Support Someone in Grief

Many people want to help a grieving friend — but worry about saying the wrong thing.

Here’s the gentle truth:

You don’t need perfect words.
You just need a caring presence.

💛 Helpful ways to support someone grieving:

• Say their loved one’s name — it shows they are remembered
• Offer specific help (“Can I bring dinner Tuesday?”)
• Sit with them without trying to fix anything
• Check in weeks and months later (not just right after the loss)
• Let them talk about their person as much as they need

🤍 What matters most:
Being present.
Listening.
Letting grief be what it is.

Grief isn’t something to solve — it’s something to walk through.

If you’ve ever worried about supporting someone in grief, your care already speaks volumes 💛

If someone you love is grieving, the most healing words are often simple:

“I’m here.”
“I remember.”
“You don’t have to go through this alone.”

You don’t need perfect words — just a present heart 🤍

Friend in Grief — My Story

I didn’t set out to become a “friend in grief.”
Life gently — and sometimes painfully — led me here.

For over 30 years, grief and loss have touched my life in different ways. Some losses were sudden. Some unfolded slowly. Some were the quiet kinds of grief that people don’t always see — life changes, goodbyes, relationships, dreams shifting, seasons ending.

Through it all, I learned something important:

Grief doesn’t need to be fixed.
It needs to be witnessed.

There were times I wished for someone who would simply sit beside me without rushing my healing… someone who would let my story be my story.

So I became that person for others.

As a counselor, a mother, a Nana, and a woman who has walked her own valleys, I’ve sat with many people in their sorrow. I’ve learned that grief is as unique as love — and every story deserves gentleness and respect.

This space was created for anyone carrying loss — whether your grief is fresh, complicated, long-held, or hard to name.

You don’t have to explain it perfectly here.
You don’t have to be “strong.”
You don’t have to hurry your healing.

Sometimes what helps most is simply having a friend in grief — someone who understands that grief can live alongside faith, joy, family, and everyday life.

If you are here, you are not alone.
Your story matters.
Your love matters.
Your grief matters too.

I’m honored to walk alongside you.

What grief is

Grief is the mix of emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual reactions to loss.

It can include:
• Sadness or longing

• Anxiety or numbness
• Fatigue, sleep changes, appetite shifts

All of these are normal.
