Practical Support
AT THE TIME
When supporting someone who is working through grief, there are many ways to offer practical support, such as, running errands, cooking meals, cleaning the house, helping with childcare or pet care, providing transport to appointments or social outings, assistance with paperwork, phone calls, or organising logistics, delivering meals, helping with household chores or repairs, holding space, listening, validating, and offering ongoing support as and when they may need it.
ONGOING SUPPORT
Sometimes it's only once the dust settles that reality sets in and support with everyday tasks is needed & truly appreciated.
When someone is experiencing loss and grief, every day tasks quite often get put on the backburner. Why not offer to have someone come in to take care of the housework for a while? There are plenty of ways to offer practical support to a friend in need.
