It can be hard to know how to support someone through grief. And, when you do offer support, it makes a HUGE difference to that person to know you care.
I’ve got two excellent resources here for you to share with them.
1. A comprehensive, super-helpful article, written by three compassionate mental health professionals:
Coping with Grief and Loss
Understanding the Grieving Process and Learning to Heal
By Melinda Smith, M.A., Lawrence Robinson, and Jeanne Segal, Ph.D.
It’s a bit long. And, it can easily be read in small chunks.
2. If your friend runs their own business, a Good Grief, Business Back on Track Clarity session with me – no cost, my gift.
I will help them get clear about receiving the good in grief which will point them toward how to keep their business running smoothly during this challenging time.
If they want further support from me, we can talk about that, too. If not, that’s totally cool also.
As always, post your comments, experiences and insights below…
Ken, thanks for the acknowledgment. Alas, since you haven’t been grieving recently, you clearly are not thinking clearly. Be careful what you almost wish for . . .
That is a huge and generous offer! I almost wish I were in grief…. Almost.
