If it's not feasible for you to go to a funeral, there are so many other ways to show someone that you're thinking of them.

- Reaching out to the family or funeral home to see if the service will be streamed and following up afterwards.
- Sending a written card, flowers, or gift, especially if it relates to the deceased.
- Checking in regularly in the weeks/months after.

Helpful tips for managers + caring coworkers!

If a colleague is going through the loss of a loved one, there are ways to support them as they reenter the workplace.

-Be patient: On average, Americans receive 3-4 days of bereavement leave, which is not nearly enough time to process, grieve, and be fully ready to contribute at work. If you notice a colleague isn't adjusting well, be patient, communicate your sympathy, and consider temporarily reassigning a portion of their workload based on your conversation with them.
-Don't be afraid to say something: Offer your condolences and offer specific ways to support them.
-Continue to check in regardless of how well they seem like they're doing.

Ultimately, that is up to you and your comfort level, however, if you are attending the religious funeral of someone whose beliefs don’t echo your own, there is no pressure for you to take part in any religious practices that you aren’t familiar or comfortable with.

A funeral is about paying your respects to the deceased and this can be done simply by listening to the service, being respectful to the other mourners, and showing empathy and support to the bereaved family.

A wonderful quote to remind us that it's not enough to think about doing good, you need to act on it.

Grief comes in many forms, and while the initial phase of grieving a loved one is often the most intense, it can creep back in time and time again as you navigate the many "firsts" that will be without them. Tips that we found on FuneralBasics.org that seemed particularly helpful:

1. Plan ahead: as the milestone approaches, consider what you need to get through the day, whether that's staying busy or taking the day off to reflect.
2. Find a way to celebrate your loved one, no matter how small.
3. Reinvent the day to bring hope to the sadness. This is particularly helpful for children impacted by grief.
