Ask gently
- What feels hardest about today?
- Is there something or somebody I am missing more than usual?
- Do I need company, quiet, food, rest, movement, prayer, tears or distraction?
- Is there somebody I can tell that today is a grief-heavy day?
Let the answer be ordinary
You do not have to produce a deep insight. “Mi miss dem,” “today rough,” or “I need somebody near” may be enough.
Choose one form of care
Pick one need you can respond to now. A glass of water, a familiar meal, ten quiet minutes, one phone call or permission to cry all count.
