Here are some tips on being a “safe person,” as shared in the video:
- Meeting the grieving person where they are
- Accept them where they are, feelings and all
- Listen and be genuinely interested
- Don’t evaluate, judge, or try to fix them
- Don’t give advice unless asked
- Don’t try to make them feel better
- Be honored to walk with them
