Death is something that people do not want to think. This only makes the person feel so bad inside and if they think this could have been avoided.
The truth is that death is another stage of life. Learning to cope with this when it happens in the family, the individual will be able to express the same amount of sympathy and interest, when this happens to a loved one or friend.
Here are some tips to show concern when this happens to others.
1. After learning of the loss, the friend should go to the wake and pay some respects. Say a few words of comfort are the best way to console anyone in that situation.
2. If the individual is a businessman and the deceased was a regular customer, perhaps sending flowers will be the best way to thank the person for the sponsorship in the past. This can also be made to an employee for the years helped to grow the business.
3. The friend may not be able to give much to the bereaved family. Those in office can put up a collection and give this place. No matter how, but only thought is what counts the most.
4. Some people are not able to say the right things at this time of sorrow. If this happens, it might be a good idea to wait a month before putting something down on paper in the form of a letter or card as a way to show respect for what has happened.
5. Mourning takes a long time. When the grieving is ready, maybe it's time to go out and have fun. This does not mean watching a movie or go to the amusement park. The friend should only do what the other wants.
6. And 'wrong tell everyone I know what you feel, especially if the friend has never been in this situation before. Instead, you better say I'm here if you want someone to talk to.
7. With time, healing can begin talking about the loss. What caused and the things that have been made to stop this especially if it was a deadly disease. This should go to improve things, how to end the pain is gone and he or she is in a better place.
It will be better to remember the good times shared and what made the individual stand out over others.
8. Life goes on after the deceased was buried. Because the friend has other obligations such as work and other tasks for the family, it wouldnt hurt to give a distressed phone call or a visit to check things sometimes.
The individual certainly appreciate this more than anything else because the other there will be only during waking and funeral and that is about it.
9. The death of a friend is a shock and painful to those who are present. The person can take a step and say a few kind words during the eulogy to remember how important this man or woman has been in the life of the individual.
10. Funerals are expensive. Write a check to cover some expenses is another way to show sympathy for the families who have experienced a loss. If the money wont be accepted, perhaps giving it away to a charity in honor of the deceased will be more appropriate.
11. Another nice thing to do would be to arrange for the deceased. A call must be placed at the parish so that the name of that individual will be mentioned along with others who have done the same.
There are other ways to show sympathy for someone who has suffered a loss. The religion of the person is important to avoid making mistakes. It's never easy for anyone to go through a tragic death.
The smallest gesture is more than adequate at this time of sorrow. Putting aside things and spend time with those in this situation, if this show really is a true friend or not.
