#
Step 1

Allow the person to talk about his grief and express his feelings. Listen without offering advice or interrupting.
#
Step 2

Be patient with the grieving person’s changeable moods. It’s normal for someone who is grieving to alternate between anger, sadness, numbness and acceptance.
#
Step 3

Give the person as much time as he needs to grieve. Telling him to ‘get over it’ or ‘let it go’ won’t help him grieve any faster.
#
Step 4

Ask the bereaved what you can do to help. Try not to get frustrated if he doesn’t know what he needs.
#
Step 5

Offer suggestions of what you could do to help. For example, does the grieving person need more space? Does he want you to be around more? Are there tasks or errands he needs done?
