[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whose adult child committed suicide? Is there anything other than kind words and offer to be there and do whatever they need? [/quote] I think everyone is different with what they need and it changes with stages of grief. Just knowing you care makes a difference. I would give her choices of how you might be helpful and see if she can pinpoint anything. There may come a time down the line where instead of wanting empathy/meals/a supportive ear, she/he just wants everyone to treat her normally and not like a grieving parent. So at that point you shift and try to create normalcy. It's tough, but you are making a difference by not avoiding your grieving friend which happens too.[/quote]
