The death of a loved one can affect the psychological makeup of a person affected by the loss . At this time, it is not unusual to see them plunge into depression . Due to the different ways of grieving, it is most important to be a good support system for them . To do this , you need to understand the seven stages a grieving person goes through. They include shock and denial , pain and guilt , anger and bargaining , depression , adjustment , working through, and acceptance and hope . To support in this trying times , here are a few ways you can lend your support: Season your words with kindness Let your body language make them know that they can talk about their pain without judgment . Bear it in mind that upsetting words can trigger actions that might be filled with regret. Support them while they grieve Sometimes, the best way to help a grieving loved one is to say nothing and do something . They could need physical support to help with the times . If talking is not giving the desired effect , allow them to grieve in quiet while being conscious to their needs . Keep them away from harmful objects Take away all objects that are likely to cause harm .
