Gifts & gestures to show sympathy
After a death, you may wish to call, write a note or send a gift. But you may not know what words to use or which gift to choose. Don’t let your uncertainty stop you from reaching out. Let your heart lead you—and consider these ideas and tips.
Support those who are grieving
Navigating grief is a journey that can be scary and lonely. Knowing that you can count on others in your darkest hours can make all the difference. Here are some resources that will help you show up for those you love when they need you most.

These resources will walk you through age-appropriate ways to comfort and care for children after a death.
