The messages on the cards are words that people who have been bereaved told the charity had helped them, including \u2018I don\u2019t know what to say, but I am sending you so much love\u2019, \u2018I know it\u2019s still tough, I\u2019m still here for you\u2019, \u2018I\u2019m always here if you need to talk, or even if you don\u2019t\u2019 and \u2018You never need to lie when I ask how you\u2019re doing\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sue Ryder\u2019s research found that over four fifths of bereaved people felt that people around them didn\u2019t know what to say or do when they were grieving.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Everyone\u2019s experience of grief is unique, but you don\u2019t have to be a trained counsellor to support someone who has experienced a bereavement,&#8221; said Bianca Neumann, head of bereavement at Sue Ryder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe need to start meeting grief with warmth and acceptance, rather than fear. It&#8217;s time to begin the conversation, instead of shying away because we are worried about saying the wrong thing or think it might make the bereaved person feel worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSending one of these cards will not take away the pain and emotion of grief, but it could be the first step in someone finally feeling comfortable to talk honestly about how they are feeling.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to help open up meaningful conversations about grief, each pack of cards includes prompt cards with advice on what to write and other practical tips on how to be Grief Kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The advice includes avoiding saying anything too stiff or formal, and to be honest if you\u2019re struggling to find the words. It\u2019s good to let people know that you don\u2019t expect a reply, or to share a favourite memory of the person who has died.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So far the sympathy cards have been well-received; one person called them \u201cbeautiful and comforting\u201d, whilst another said \u201cthese could actually help someone initiate a conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Sue Ryder Grief Kind cards are free to order for a limited period with an optional donation via\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/actions.sueryder.org\/a\/griefkindcards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sueryder.org\/griefkind<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: Charlie Duffield for Smileyworld<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When someone loses a person they love, it can be hard to find the right words to show that you care.
