Ways to help those who lost a child
Not sure what to do to help? Here are a few ways to help grieving parents:
- Call them.
- Send a sympathy card. It helps to know you cared about their child and that you care about them.
- Hug them. If words aren’t easy, try giving a hug, placing your hand on their back or holding their hand. People in grief often need much more physical comfort than usual.

Resources for Handling Grief
A variety of resources are available for grieving families including websites, support groups, books, and online communities. Because each person has different needs and coping styles, what is helpful for one family member might not be helpful for another. Needs can also change over time.
After the loss of a child, it can help to connect with other people who have gone through a similar experience. Local support groups for parents or siblings can be found in many places including hospitals, churches, mental health centers, and community organizations. To find local support groups in a particular area, search online using keywords such as “grief support groups in (town).”
