Grieving: Grieving Person
built 176 days ago
A person with abnormal grieving may show many of the healthy signs of grieving. He or she may ... show unusual behaviors. For example, a person who is grieving in a healthy manner may "hear" the voice of the dead person, but the episodes are brief and fleeting. Someone with abnormal grieving may continually "hear" the dead person's voice.

Just as there is no single pattern to grief, there is no single way to help a grieving person. Both the grieving person and any friend who is trying to help may feel unsure and uncomfortable. Either way, remember that it is important to be yourself. Furthermore, remember that as a friend, just by listening and being with the grieving person, you probably are helping.

Urge the grieving person to get professional help if he's so depressed that he's unable to function day to day. Assist him in setting up an appointment with a doctor to discuss counseling or possible medication.
