Practical HelpHow can you offer practical help to individuals and families that have suffered a bereavement?
It depends on how close you are to them, what level of help you can contribute. If you know the family well, likely you will already be able to see the need they have and fill it.
Are you only an acquaintance, but still want to do something? Contact someone who is close to them to see how you can be of assistance.
Everyone can do something to help. "How to Help a Grieving Friend: A Candid Guide for Those Who Care" by Stephanie Grace Whitson is a book about how to comfort with words and actions. In it she shares her own personal experience with loss, what was helpful and what wasn’t.
The bereaved will need some kinds of help right away-
Other kinds of assistance will be needed later- It is important to remember…. Don’t forget them after the first week! Return from Practical Help to Bereavement Home Page |
