Most of us donÕt deal with grief very often. Subsequently, when a friend comes face to face with pain, we donÕt know what to say or do. In My Friend is Struggling with Grief, and I Want to Help, author Gerald H. Pilj provides insight into the grieving process, offers lessons, and presents ideas on how to help another person handle their distress.
Based on his personal experiences of the death of his youngest son at age three, Pilj explores a variety of topics related to grieving, including:
My friendÕs grief is my grief, too.
Cry as often as necessary; donÕt bottle it up.
It helps to have someone to cry with.
Gift giving may be important.
Faith plays a role in grief.
DonÕt forget to live life.
Filled with valuable and heartfelt information, My Friend is Struggling with Grief, and I Want to Help, offers a sensitive approach to understanding grief and living through it.
