Understanding the cyclical nature of grief is also crucial. Friends should recognize that the grieving process doesn’t adhere to a timeline; it’s often filled with ups and downs. They can prepare themselves for the possibility that their loved one may struggle on certain days, such as anniversaries or holidays. By consistently checking in, friends can demonstrate their ongoing support and remind their loved ones that they don’t have to navigate their grief alone.
