Funeral and burial of Khodadad Azizi's father in Mashhad

Encouraging professional help can also be a sensitive yet necessary conversation among friends. Grief can sometimes become overwhelming, leading to prolonged distress or even depression. Friends can gently suggest seeking therapy or joining support groups where they can connect with others experiencing similar losses. By framing professional assistance as a strength rather than a weakness, friends can help their grieving loved ones find additional tools for healing.
