Nothing is permanent in life. The life of humans is vulnerable and unfortunate things can happen. Death is the reality of life. It is the only thing that will surely happen. No one can predict the time or date, but it will happen. Death is the end of human life. When someone dies, their body organ stops working and they cannot come back. Death is permanent and irreversible. The remains of the living beings start to decompose shortly after their death.
Handling the pain of the death of someone close can be very difficult. In such times overcoming the grief can be challenging. During such times, you can provide comfort and help those who are going through a tough time. Here we list down some thoughtful things that you can do for someone who is grieving.
Thoughtful Things to do for Someone Grieving
Be With Them
When someone is going through tough times being with them is the biggest support you can give. They will appreciate your company. They might not talk to you much but you being in their surrounding will help them heal. Being around them is the best thing you can do for them.
Express Love
Show your love to them in the best way possible. Give them some novel to read or do anything they like. You can even bring some personalized gifts for them. This will make them realise that despite someone close to them being no more, there are other people around who love them equally.
Say “I am here for you”
Sometimes simplest of words have the deepest impact. Tell them you are always there for them no matter what the situation is. Just be there as a company, let them cry and share their feeling about someone who has just passed away. This will lower down their pain and help them become less vulnerable.
Make Food for Them
Show your support and love for the loved ones by preparing food for them. Do not leave it to the person to cook food, rather bring food or cook for them. Having meals together gives a family feeling and they can cope up with the pain in a better way.
Engage them in New Activities
People heal better when you divert their attention. Engage them in activities which they like and ask them to pursue their hobbies. By doing newer activities, they will be able to think something else and get over the pain of the death of their loved ones. You can even send them material for different activities that will help them explore a fresh new environment.
The above mentioned are some of the ways through which you can console a person in grief after their loved one’s death. By acknowledging the loss and grief of someone you help them to heal. The kind gesture helps them overcome their pain and not fall into mental health problems. Your support protects them from problems like depression, anxiety, trauma, etc. So be a helping hand to those who have lost their loved ones. After the demise of your loved ones, you may feel mentally and emotionally depressed and a state of loneliness may appear in your life. In such a situation, it’s better than you can contact any of the support team at LivingInWellbeing for timely help and advice.
