Comforting the Uncomfortable

Comforting the Uncomfortable

Many people who are bereaved are left to grieve alone simply due to the inexperience of generous people or because the griever themselves worries about burdening their friends by expressing their grief openly. Grieving individuals often feel pressure to act alright even when they are not.

If you know one such person, ensure that they receive your support as they probably feel hesitant to ask you for help. You can help and support such family members, friends, and even acquaintances by guiding them towards professional help.
