Dealing with the death of a loved one is one of life’s most difficult challenges. If your partner has recently experienced a loss, you might be unsure of the words or actions that can demonstrate your presence through this tough time. Here are some tips that can help you comfort your partner before and after the funeral service. 

3 Tips for Comforting Your Partner While They’re Grieving 

1. Listen 

Be there to listen to your partner. Rather than finding the right words to say, it can be more meaningful to allow them the room to discuss what they’re going through or share memories of the deceased. If they don’t want to talk at all, be comfortable with the silence and just hold their hand. 

2. Help Out

funeralYour loved one’s thoughts will be occupied, and it can be difficult for them to keep up with their own responsibilities. One of the best ways to help them is by shouldering some of their everyday tasks. Cleaning up around the house, scheduling appointments, and helping them plan the funeral service are just a few of the ways you can help. 

3. Give Them Room to Grieve

Everyone grieves differently, and it may take time for your loved one to come to terms with their emotions. Give them the space and time they need to grieve. If you’re concerned about their well-being, you can recommend a therapy group, but avoid getting frustrated or angry if they aren’t ready to seek additional guidance.
