10 Tips for Helping People Cope with Deep Grief:
- First, when someone is grieving, they may not want to hear advice; instead, they want you to focus on how they feel. It is better to say nothing or admit that you are at a loss for words than make statements such as: “this is God’s will” or “it can always be worse.”
- When someone is experiencing trauma related grief, it is important to understand that in order to help the individual through the process, you must have a healthy and safe relationship with one another.
