WAYS TO SUPPORT GRIEVING PARENTS

Whether you are a close family member or an acquaintance, it can be difficult to know what to do for a grieving parent. Often we want to provide support and show that we care, but we are afraid we will say or do the wrong thing. After all, the last thing we want to do is to create more pain. 

​

Grieving parents need a support system to

help them work through the grief process.

​

The resources we have selected offer a wide range of guidance, from suggestions on what to write in a sympathy card to how you can provide long-term support during the grieving process.
