è Acknowledge
the Loss. The loss of a friend can be as significant as
a loss of a close family member. Don’t minimize the loss because
they are not an immediate family member.
èShare your
stories. If the person that passed away is
someone you knew, share your personal stories. Don’t be afraid to
express your joy and sorrow for having this person in your life.
By sharing your story, it encourages others to express their feelings
and share their most cherished memories.
è Give a Hug.
A simple hug can go a long way.

Thought: People
often wonder what they should do for someone when they
have lost a friend or family member.
One of the most special gifts I received was from
my friend Steve. When
my friend Dan passed away I did not have enough money to
go to the funeral. Steve
used his frequent flyer miles to buy me a plane ticket
so I could go to the funeral to be there for Dan’s
family as well as give me an opportunity to say good
bye. I am
forever grateful for his generosity.
