  1. I just did this very thing this morning. One of my blogging buddies lost her husband this past weekend. I told her how sorry I was for the loss of her husband and sent her big healing hugs.

    Have a fabulous day and week. ♥

  2. My friend suddenly lost her only child, a son. Lots of things I didn't say. I did say this was a terrible thing. Meanwhile she would be in my thoughts. I also send her a photo each day that I think is peaceful and of a place I know she has loved.

  3. Because grief is deep and heart gripping, it is difficult for the person to really take in the condolences of others. I keep it simple and offer my help in anyway I can.

  4. If in person, first a hug then I say how sorry I am and if they need to talk, no matter the time of day--call me. If far away, all of the above minus the hug.

  7. Sometimes you just sit with the person and help her/him cry. Words can come later.
