Don't stay silent in order not to upset the bereaved
We have devoted the last three chapters of our book to those who stand alongside supporting people who are grieving. It is very easy at a poignant time of year, like Christmas and Hanukkah, to feel that you do not want to upset someone, who has lost someone they love. It is totally understandable but we feel it is so important to bring the person who has died into conversation, into family life and talk about them. You cannot upset them any more than they are already upset and in our experience, the bereaved desperately want to talk about the one who has died. There might be tears but that is natural. Be brave, as it says above it is a great great gift.
