How to handle someone else’s grief

I have come to understand that it is hard to handle someone else’s grief. Their pain and their loss. I can’t say exactly what you should do as every person goes through grief differently. But you can always make yourself present, let them know you are there and you can provide whatever help they need whether it be from you or professional help. Do not try and pry as that may make things worse. For some, nothing is best and they just want to be alone. Try to talk about the situation and how they feel if they allow. I have gone through loss and it’s not easy, you carry it with you for the rest of your life. Sometimes it gets under minded yes, but those who really care will ask how you are doing, take care of you, drop off food or flowers. Be that person. Because it costs nothing to make someone’s day.

If you are going through loss, it does get easier, although it may not ever go away. The love you have for that person is still there even when you cannot see them physically.
