What can be done when the closest person is sad
1. Choose the right condolences
All living things in this world will indeed die in the end. However, don't just underestimate the grief he is experiencing by saying “Don't be sad anymore, OK. Everyone is going to go on time, really. This sentence sounds cold and is clearly very insensitive to other people's calamities.
If you are confused about what to say when faced with sad news, simply say “Please feel sorry for your loss. May he calm down there. I believe (the name of the deceased) is a good person and must be loved by many people.
2. Don't bring it up and equate your experience with hers
Back to the first point. It is true that all living things will die, and you may have experienced something similar to what it is now. However, it is not wise to bring up and generalize your experiences with those of him. For example, by saying something like "" We are the same. I was also sad because of losing me, really.
When dealing with and comforting someone who is sad, put yourself in the position as much as possible and be neutral. Every disaster has a different effect on everyone, and not everyone wants sadness and loss to be compared. Likewise, everyone's way of grieving and dealing with loss is different.
Try to focus on the bereaved moments of your loved one by not focusing on your experiences.
3. People who are sad sometimes just want to be heard
If you don't know what to do to comfort someone who is sad, you can actually just take the time for him to talk and offer a shoulder to lean on. Be a good listener and refrain from making comments.
Being a good place to confide in can help the person deal with grief.
4. Stay with him and try to be there in his sad times
It's best not to leave him alone when you're grieving. Accompany him to take his mind off the negative emotions and memories that can eat away at his soul.
It's hard to be around someone who is sad. However, you shouldn't give up. The wholehearted support you offer can be of great help to her move on and get back up to live his life.
