What To Say Vs. What To Avoid When Someone You Care About Is Grieving.

Helpful guide with real examples

I have been asked a lot about what to say when someone you care about is grieving.

This is a good question but also a tricky one because everyone is different and we could all react differently depending on timing and our sensitivities.

I have gathered some suggestions that I hope are helpful. Some of them are from my own experience and some others I have heard from clients and/or other grieving friends.

It is important to remember that the best thing we can do is to acknowledge the loss, be present and available. Sending love to our grieving friends in our thoughts, asking what you can do and following their lead.

I hope this is helpful, please leave a comment with your thoughts or please share other suggestions. I would love to hear from you!

Love, Yolanda
