- As sad as it is to see someone grieve all individuals will experience a loss and grieve. Grieving for every individual is a journey they must take on their own as far as the steps in grieving and no one can really help them 100 percent and only be there to listen to what the griever has to say; put an arm around them; hug them; be there to be sure they have food and comfort or even stay or overnight or as long as the person needs support. It is fine to just stay quiet and listen and sometimes to cry along with the griever. It takes time as sometimes it can take two or more years for a person to feel like they want to go on in life without a loved one, but each month is a step forward. It is important to remember that when someone loses someone dear and close to them the griever is never completely the same person they were before. The griever has to find a new 'me' in themselves.

How do you help the bereaved to make own decisions?
When someone is grieving from the death of a loved one the person is in shock and will go through steps of grieving such as denial; anger; depression; feeling lonely and lost; segregated emotionally from others and in grief counselling it is suggested that no one that is grieving should make any major decisions in the first year of grieving because the grieving person's mind is in a fog-like state and mistakes could be made. Someone in the family or a very close and loyal friend should go along with the person grieving while doing business; talking to a doctor they are seeing or any other business so the family member or close friend can be sure the grieving person is not making mistakes or misunderstanding things that are said to them in business. Sometimes relatives may come out of the woodwork trying to get something from the grieving person that the deceased may have left so it is extremely important that the grieving person be kept save from anyone trying to talk them into giving anything away at such an early date. A grieving person does not get over grief in a few months and it can take one or more years to get over the worst of the grieving.

If your friends grandma died what should you do?
* When a loved one dies each individual in that family goes through their own grieving period so the best thing you can do is tell your friend how sorry you are, but you are there for them 100%. Grieving is a lonely journey we all have to take many times during our life. In time, the grieving is not so intense and we remember the person for the 'imprint of life' they gave us ... memories. Give your friend a hug and perhaps ask if they want to go out to a movie. If they don't feel like it then phone or email them off and on. You are a true friend and your friend is very lucky to have you.
How do you tell a friend to get over someone without hurting her feelings?
* Although you are a good friend and it pains you to see your friend in anguish over a lost love it is still not your place to tell her when she should get over the man that left her. Breakups are much like losing a loved one to death. Your friend is going through a grieving process and everyone grieves at their own pace. Grieving is a journey only that person can take and then eventually they will come to terms with it. See the other good things in your friend and go out to a movie, dinner or shop at the mall and try to be patient.
