How do you wish a happy holiday to a grieving person?

Asked 3 years ago

Christmas is around the corner, and I have a close friend who has recently lost her mom. I know that she is grieving, and she will most likely feel it more on Christmas day due to it being a day for family gatherings. How do I wish her a Merry Christmas?

The first thing is not to ignore the fact that they are grieving. Just show support and make them know that you are there for them. Remind them that you are here for them, you can also try to recount beautiful Christmas memories in a manner that will make them smile.
