focus their sympathy and support on the parents of the child who died.
Next to be comforted are the siblings of the child who died. Grieving
grandparents, on the other hand, are often neglected or forgotten.

Write a sympathy note full of memories. Perhaps you have a special memory
from a visit or a past holiday you can mention.
You can also relay any funny anecdotes you remember
from school or teen years, or holidays or work. Sharing memories
for the family is a lovely thing to do. Sometimes the family
learn new things about their loved one that they never knew.

When you find yourself alone and hurting, nearly total strangers will offer their advice and help and encouragement.
