The Weeks Following the funeral: Helping a friend in Grief


The funeral service is over. Friends and family have paid their respective respects and gone home. There are no more hectic plans to distract the grieving family, and the shock has worn off. They are now left feeling lost and alone.

 


Experts say that although the initial outpouring of sympathy is  a great comfort to a family that has lost a loved one, many people experiencing such a loss appreciate being thought of in the weeks and months after the funeral. Consider sending flowers or a plant with a personal note to the home of the bereaved. Your message of, "I'm here if you need me, " will show the bereaved that no matter how much time passes, he or she can count on your support.
