Be Careful Not to Minimize Anyone's Ggrief

At times it can be hard to find the right words to say to a person who is grieving. And when it comes to grief support, words can either heal and connect us or they can shut the griever down and hurt them. It is not helpful to minimize people's grief with statements of comparison, people need to be allowed to express the depth of their grief without feeling that they shouldn't feel as bad as they do.
