Trying To Help A Loved One Cope With Grief, But Just Don't Know What To Do? 

Unique, practical guide for the friends and families of the bereaved tells you exactly how to help without getting in the way


It is awful when someone you love goes through the unbearable pain of bereavement. As you are discovering, you feel distraught and completely unable to help. You can't take away the grief, but there are many things you can do to make everyday life more bearable for them. And no-one knows better what those things might be than people who have been bereaved themselves...

This book explains how it feels, and also passes on the advice of many other people who have been bereaved. These people know exactly what helped them most (and what was well-meant but not helpful) at the time, and in the months, weeks and years afterwards.

There's no need to feel so helpless in the face of grief. This book is full of little ways - as well as big ways - you can help someone you care about cope that little bit better. You really CAN make a difference; why not let this inspiring, creative and practical book show you how?

How Do I Sign A Sympathy Card? 

If you're searching for the proper way to sign a sympathy card, here are a few examples:


  • With Sympathy, [Sign Your Name]

  • From All Of Your Friends At [Insert Name Of Group]

  • You Are In Our Thoughts And Prayers [Sign Your Name]

  • We Are Sorry For Your Loss, [Sign Your Name]

  • Love, [Sign Your Name]



Note: It's a good idea to include your last name too, even if the person you are sending the card to is a close friend or family member. They will likely receive more than one card and it could be confusing as to who sent the card.
