Things to do first.
The first weeks and months after an intense loss are a world unto themselves. Few things bring comfort. Words of intended comfort just grate. Knowing (or being told) that this won’t last forever isn’t really helpful. The early days are not the time for future plans or even for reflection on what’s going on. Survival has a very small circumference: minute by minute, sometimes.
These two tip sheets cover the basic things you need to know for Managing Grief and Supporting a Friend Through Loss. Tap the links to download. 8 Simple Acts for Unbearable Times is for those living in the early days of grief. Do This/Not That is a handy tip sheet for support people.
