Losing a loved one is difficult to say the least. In addition to managing their grief and adapting to life without the deceased, they have to also use time and energy on day to day errands and tasks. While grieving alongside others, it can be difficult to find enough time in the day.
One way you can help make life a little easier for them is to create a grief care package. This is a great way for you to show your support for them during this difficult time. While many people will send flowers or cards, these do not necessarily help meet our day to day needs.
Oftentimes, when a death has just occurred, people will offer the commonly used phrase “if there’s anything you need…”. The problem with this though, is that it requires the person grieving to reach out and ask for assistance. This isn’t always the easiest thing to do, especially if you’re already overwhelmed with grief.
If you’re looking for a way to make a real difference for someone who is grieving, consider creating a grief care package for them. Below, we’ve highlighted some different items you can include in your care package for someone grieving.
When it comes to selecting items to include in a care package, there are plenty of options to consider. Honestly, you can include anything you think the bereaved may need over the coming days. This can include items like toiletries, food, gifts, grief resources, and items to help children cope.
