Funeral and burial of Khodadad Azizi's father in Mashhad

In addition to emotional support, friends can also encourage the grieving person to engage in self-care. It’s crucial to remind them to take small steps toward nurturing themselves, whether by suggesting a warm bath, a good book, or a leisurely walk outdoors. Friends can also offer to join them in these activities, reinforcing the idea that they’re not alone in their journey. This attention to self-care can help alleviate feelings of guilt that may arise when someone focuses on their well-being during times of sorrow.
