Quick deaths (car wrecks, accidents, heart attacks, etc.) bring some special needs. It's better to do something klutzy than to do nothing - and the kindest words are often the simplest. Here's some advice to give when heartbreak is a stranger: Don't be afraid to intrude. We are reluctant to barge in where we might not be welcome. Your caring will be appreciated when the griever is feeling so alone and enveloped in suffering. Take the Initiative. Your friend may be suffering too much to know what he or she needs. Don't wait to be asked to help. Be perceptive and see what needs to be done, i.e. take over the phone or answer the door, mow the lawn, do the laundry, and do it! Don't say "I know how you feel." You can't know how another feels. Everyone comes from a different place. Even people who have experienced similar tragedies have not lost this particular child, (spouse) in this particular way. Don't look for a silver lining. Efforts to minimize tragedy are not only ineffective, it deposits a load of guilt on the person who is suffering. Yes, he or she may have other children. Yes, he or she may marry again sometime. It has no bearing on the fact that his or her loved one has died. It does not feel the subject. Write a letter of condofriend brings good to hear "It is God's will." If you want to share your faith, do so very gently - and only when up lence. Store bought cards do not take the place of a personal letter, no matter how short or awkwardly worded. Every member of the family will draw strength from the letters they receive. Describe happy memories you have of the one who has died. Those letters tell not only that people cared, but that the deceased had affected the lives of others. Recognize that recovery takes time. g friends often urge the griever to return to work (life). Grief has to take it's own time. One day the world will look a little brighter and those same friend's encouragement will be helpful. Be there to listen. Your presence and your will ingness to listen are the two most precious gifts you can offer. Don't tell your long sad story. The repetition of telling by the griever diffuses the intensity of their agony and makes it possible to start the healing. Working through tr ii x grief is a long, slow process, and good friends can make a big difference in assisting the griever to come through the;r gnef into the pleasant world again. - by Phyllis 495 South State Street Orem 801-225-15- 30 J dent, she has y your 5 OBITUARY Our loving husband, father and grandfather Richard D.
