In Episode 129, we discussed what to DO to lend practical support to those we love who are grieving the death of a loved one.

Everything from being present when the person first dies, helping with funeral arrangements, writing obituaries, eulogies, making sure everyone is fed, running errands, ironing clothing for the wake and funeral and so much more.

When a loved one dies, we become overwhelmed with all the tasks that need attending to and there is nothing more comforting to know that good friends are near and waiting for the bereaved’s gentle commands.

There is nothing more wonderful to know that your friend is not in this alone and you are there right by their side.

Additional Notes:

In Episode 128, we discuss how to lend emotional support to a grieving friend or relative after they have experienced a loved one’s death.

To help a newly bereaved person, you must be especially sensitive and kind. This just isn’t about you and your problems. It needs to be about them, their pain and their needs.

In the beginning, all hell is breaking loose around them and your job, if you choose to accept it, is to make sure they are shielded from as much additional trauma as possible.

The Mary Mac Show Podcast

In Episode 126, we look at various ways to console a friend or relative who is dealing with the extreme fallout caused by the death of a loved one.

There are times in the grieving process where we completely break down and collapse.

We collapse into the arms of someone we feel safe with. Someone we can cry our eyes out with; someone who will not judge us for how it all comes out of us.

Is that you? Could that be you?

Have you ever done that for someone who was completely overwhelmed after someone they loved died?

Well in today’s episode, I talk about how to help someone who really needs you.

Someone who needs a safe place to just let it all out.

The overwhelming sorrow and the all consuming anger if your friend or relative is completely devastated by the actions of the person who died or was killed.

If you have what it takes to be that for someone, this episode will teach you how.

Only unique individuals need apply.

Here are some places to visit:

The Mary Mac Show | What Not to Say to Comfort a Grieving Friend or Relative

Leave a comment

The Mary Mac Show PodcastIn last week’s Episode 124, we talked about what to say to comfort a loved one or friend who are bereaved.

In this week’s Episode 125, we discuss how a grieving friend or relative’s life has changed and what you should NOT say if you want to comfort and support them through their grieving process.

Some of us have never experience the death of a loved one and do not know how to comfort another.

If this is the case, these episodes will be extremely beneficial for you especially if this bereaved person is very close to you and will be counting on your support as they move through this very difficult time in their life.

We may think that we can ‘wing it’ but often times that only leaves to more hurt feelings. Don’t leave that to chance.

This is very sensitive time and if you don’t want to leave behind more damage, learn what to say and especially what not to say to comfort and help them.

They rely on their friends and relatives to do the right thing, to learn what that is, and to do it.

They are already in enough pain and are counting on you not to make it worse.

Also in this episode, we discuss how life is changing for them now. They are slowly building a new life and reevaluating who and what should be in it.

So listen in to Episode 125 where we give you specific language to help you support that special friend or relative who is grieving a loved one’s death.

Much Love,

Mary Mac

The Mary Mac Show PodcastExactly what do you say to a friend or relative who is grieving a loved one’s death?

If you have never experienced this situation or if you have in the past and realized you really needed more knowledge on how to be more sensitive to the bereaved needs, this podcast is for you.

People who have experienced a loved one’s death need our love and compassion, our tenderness, sensitivity and, above all, to not make the pain worse.

If this is their first loss, they may not know what they need from you.

They may not know what the right words are that will comfort them.

But we do. We’ve been down this road way too many times.

Learn from us!

So listen in to Episode 124 where we give you specific language to help you support that special friend or relative who is grieving a loved one’s death.
