When people lose a loved one, it’s up to their friends and family to be caring and supportive. How can you help? According to the funeral services and grief counseling professionals at Abriola Parkview Funeral Home in Trumbull, Connecticut, there are many ways you can show your support.

Here the funeral home shares suggestions for helping a loved one while they are grieving:

  • Sharing A Meal: Prepare the grieving family a home-cooked meal; they may be too distracted to worry about this kind of thing, so your time and attention will be appreciated. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy—for instance, there’s a great, easy recipe for garlic spaghetti on Pinterest—just cook something that is comforting and delicious.
  • Quality Time: Organize quality time with your loved one to show them you care. Think about what the aggrieved likes doing; if they enjoy the outdoors, you can join them on a walk, or perhaps an outing to the movies might take their mind off of everything.
  • Funeral HomeMemorial Planting: By planting a memorial tree or flower, you'll create a living memorial to the departed's memory. If you have a green thumb, this is a great way to help friends or family pay respects.
  • Extra Help: If your grieving loved one is a parent, offer to watch the kids so they can have some time to relax. You can also help with errands like shopping or cleaning to give the survivors that extra bit of space they need.
