Aug 21, Sympathy for Widows and Widowers

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 07:57:29 GMT

Coping with the death of a spouse is overwhelming. Friends and family members who can provide a listening ear and thoughtful gestures of sympathy can be a source of strength and comfort.

Here are some suggestions for offering words of sympathy to widows and widowers:

"I wish there was something I could say to ease your pain."
"It's okay to cry, be sad or angry around me."
"What kind of a day are you having?"

Most people who encounter grieving individuals ask how they are doing just to be polite or because they don't know what else to say. Show that you want to know how they are really doing by making eye contact and being comfortable around tears.

You may only be able to keep them company for an hour here and there. You can provide long term support by staying in touch with phone calls and greeting cards.

You can send an email greeting from Blue Mountain for a wide selection of eCards and printable greeting cards for every occasion. Try it free for 30 days!

Another great option that I've found is a business called Cards Remembered. You can go to their website and select all of the cards that you want to have sent. Select the dates you want to have them sent. They mail them out for you, on time! They also pay the postage.
