5. Be mindful of your words: Choose your words carefully and avoid phrases that may unintentionally minimize or dismiss their grief. Rather than saying "I know how you feel," consider saying something like "I can only imagine how difficult this is for you." 6. Offer practical help: Grieving individuals often appreciate practical assistance during this challenging time. Offer to help with funeral arrangements, provide a meal, assist with childcare, or run errands. Even the smallest gestures can make a big difference. 7. Honor the deceased: Share a fond memory or story about the person who has passed if appropriate.
