You can support someone without carrying their entire struggle.

Listening without judgment, encouraging professional support, and setting healthy boundaries can help families support someone experiencing substance-use problems.

Please don't only remember me when my grief is new.

Support often decreases with time even though grief may continue. Remembering birthdays, anniversaries, or simply checking in months later can mean a great deal.

Sometimes grieving people don't need advice.

They need company. Grief isn't a problem friends and family need to solve. Sometimes the greatest support is listening without rushing someone to feel better.

The funeral ended.

Their grief didn't. Grief doesn't end when calls and condolences slow down. Remembering to check in later can remind someone that they haven't been forgotten.
