Top Tips By Michael Scarpaci On Helping Your Loved Ones Cope With Grief

It is extremely difficult to console a person who is grieving the death of their loved one. While you might be feeling and sharing their pain, it is extremely difficult to express the same in the words. It is necessary to know how to console them and help them move on with heir life. According to Michael Scarpaci, the owner of Scarpaci funeral homes, it is necessary that people know basic tips about consoling someone and helping them move on.

  • Reach out:- The first thing that you should do is know how you can console them. For that, you need to let the person know that you are there for them. Take the first step. Call them, visit them or email them. All you need is to let them know that you are there for them.
  • Listen more:- While it is a tough one, it is very important for you to listen to what they are feeling. Losing a loved one is hard and they need to be heard clearly. Try to listen intently and keep your body language open. But, needless to say, they won't easily open up and when they do they might cry for hours.
  • Check-in:- Grief does not have a time table. It can go on for months and years. Make sure that you check in regularly and see how they are doing. You can ask them out for dinner or for a cup of coffee. This will help them cope with the loss.
  • Reminisce:- Death of loved one is hard. Another thing that can help your loved ones move on with their lives is the memories of the loved one. Remembering the memories and sharing the stories of the deceased will help your loved ones understand that while the person may be gone their memories live on.
  • Don't ignore:- Ignoring the person who is grieving will hurt them and make them feel that they are alone in the world. You don't need to there for them 24/7 but just let them know that they can count on you. Reaching out is better than ghosting the person and making them feel bad.
Death is a natural process and thus, it is necessary that you should move on in life but do not complicate the process.
