Remembering Jaklin Viguen: A Life Well-Lived

Offering Practical Assistance
Grief is an all-consuming process, and daily tasks can feel impossible for those who are mourning. This is where practical help becomes invaluable. During the funeral and the days that follow, offer to help with things like making phone calls, organizing flowers, or preparing food. A funeral home is often busy and chaotic, and having someone to assist with small tasks can be a huge relief. Don't wait for them to ask; simply offer a specific form of help. For example, "I can help set up the reception after the service," or "I'll bring coffee and sandwiches for the family."
