As you grieve, remember the words of this poem by Mary Elizabeth Frye, reminding us that our loved ones are with God:
Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow; I am the diamond glints on the snow.
I am the sunlight that ripened grain; I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush,
Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there. I did not die

However you choose to show sympathy - that you know someone is
experiencing a loss and that you care - is almost always better
than saying and doing nothing. Your response, whether verbal, written,

When a child or young person dies, friends and family members usually
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.

with the neighbor down the street. They listen with sympathy and compassion and they all have bits of advice for you. Heed them.
