How to support the grieving

Last year a dear friend, Irene, lost a wonderful son, who was also a husband and father of young children. This was her second son to die as well as other close members of her extended family. I never knew what to say or do, feel awkward, try to do something  - a hug, little smile, cry with them, card, note, dinner or other service needed. Somehow the little done seems not enough, because the pain is still there.

Irene has put together a fabulous video which outlines three major steps to help share and lift the burden of grieving from those we love. I  hope it helps anyone who watches it.
