The Best Things to Say/Do for Someone Experiencing Grief

  1. I am so sorry for your loss.
  2. I wish I had the right words, just know I care.
  3. I don’t know how you feel, but I am here to help in any way I can.
  4. You and your loved one will be in my thoughts and prayers.
  5. My favorite memory of your loved one is…
  6. I am always just a phone call away
  7. Give a hug instead of saying something
  8. We all need help at times like this, I am here for you
  9. I am usually up early/late, if you need anything
  10. Saying nothing, just be with the person

A colleague of mine shared this with our staff via email this afternoon.
