When a friend is sad about the loss of a loved one, it's easy to feel helpless. We often try to cheer friends up, or let them know that they should try to move on. So here are some useful ways to help you support your friends in time of need.
◆ Most people suffering a loss will go through these stages, often in no particular order: denial (不肯相信), bargaining, anger, depression (沮丧) and acceptance. Each one is healthy and necessary. The more familiar you are with these stages, the better you'll be to support your friends.
◆Don't always tell them how strong they are. We are often ready to praise the person who appears to be dealing strongly with a loss.
◆Ask them what they need. It's normal that you cannot guess what your friends need. If they say "I don't know" or "nothing", don't walk away or worry. Just offer your support in whatever way you can. And let them know that you will be there when they think of something.
◆Finally, keep in mind that loss is not just felt through death. Loss is a difficult thing to work through. And your role as a supporter is very important and helpful.
A. Comfort those who suffer a lot.
B. Recognize the stages of sadness.
C. It can be the loss of a job, the loss of hope.
D. Your care will be appreciated (感激) and provides much comfort.
E. But those efforts often put pressure on them and leave them feeling useless.
F. The problem is that we need to allow them to be human and weak sometimes too.
G. Because we're all different, it's best to ask them what it is that you can do for them.
