Episode 27 – How to Support Someone Who’s Grieving: What to Say & Why It Matters

We’ve all been there — wanting to comfort someone who’s grieving, but not knowing what to say. You want to help, but your mind goes blank, and out comes the classic: “Let me know if you need anything.”

In this episode of The Grief Guardian Podcast, we’re talking about how to truly support someone who’s grieving — what to say, what not to say, and why simply showing up means more than you realise.

Grief isn’t a problem to fix — it’s an experience to be witnessed. Your presence, honesty, and willingness to stay through the discomfort can be a lifeline for someone trying to survive the unimaginable.

We’ll cover:
💬 The do’s and don’ts of what to say to someone grieving
💔 Why people often disappear after the funeral — and how to do better
🤝 How to support someone without trying to “fix” their pain
🕯️ Simple ways to show up with compassion, even when you feel awkward

If someone you care about is grieving, this episode will help you understand how to be there for them in a way that truly matters.

If you’re the one grieving, feel free to share this episode with your circle — sometimes, people just need a little guidance on how to help.
