Due to the lack of a state budget resulting from the budget impasse, the Secretary of State’s office has suspended the mailing of vehicle registration renewal reminder notices, which will save approximately $450,000 per month.

Helping a Grieving Friend

It can be hard to know what to say when a friend has lost a spouse or beloved family member. And sometimes words we think might be helpful may appear dismissive of a grieving person’s real feelings about their loss. For example, a well-meaning individual may consider it helpful to tell a grieving friend, “I know how you feel.” People who have survived the loss of a loved one, however, can’t truly know how another experiences grief -- because no two people grieve loss in the same way. Grief is an individual process for every person, involving many complex feelings that can change from moment to moment. It is perfectly normal to feel angry one minute, then profoundly sad the next. A person feeling happy as they relive a favorite memory of the person they lost may suddenly feel guilty -- ashamed to feel happy during a time they think is reserved exclusively for sorrow. It can be helpful to give a grieving friend the freedom to express their feelings to you, knowing that you won’t judge them or expect them “to move on.” Saying, “I don’t know how you feel, but I care about you and am here for you” can help validate a person’s right to experience their grief individually -- free from other people’s expectations. Just letting the person share the story of their loss in a kind, understanding way can promote healing.

As you’re able, be concrete with offers of help. Follow-up with a phone call offering a specific service, such as cooking a meal, running an errand, or picking up groceries (or anything else the person might find helpful). It’s also all right if the person does not want your help. By being proactive and offering your help, you can help the person feel supported -- and remembered -- during a difficult time. It may also be helpful for grieving adults to sit down with other people going through the grief process. In June the Niles Senior Center will be offering a six-week grief group to offer support to seniors coping with the loss of a loved one. If you’re concerned about a friend in the community, or have any questions about grief, please call Niles Senior Social Work at (847) 588-8420. We would be happy to answer your questions.

Another thing people often tell a grieving person is to “call you if they need anything.” While the intent of this message is genuine, it is a statement that places the burden on the grieving person to follow-up. Yet, following a loss, grieving people often feel disorganized, and may lack the motivation to reach out for your assistance.
