When someone is grieving, it can be hard to know how to help. Instead of saying, “Let me know if you need anything,” consider offering something specific, such as bringing a meal, picking up groceries, helping with errands or walking the dog. Small, practical gestures can ease the burden and remind them they are not alone.
