Want to help a grieving friend? Let them be sad. The thing is, you can’t cheer someone up by telling them to look on the bright side, or by giving them advice. Your job, honestly, is to feel awkward and stay there anyway. Just hang right out with their pain.

Looking for ways to help a grieving friend? Say their person's name. Don't be afraid to share memories of your friend's person. Use their name in conversation. Trying to work around the gaping hole that has opened in your friend's life doesn't help them.
