How to support someone who is grieving

Most people who want to support someone grieving don't know how — they default to solutions, to minimization, to the implicit pressure to feel better soon, because sitting with another person's sorrow is genuinely difficult. What grief actually needs from the people around it is presence, patience, practical help, and the willingness to hear the same story more than once. This domain provides practical, research-informed guidance for supporting the bereaved.
