1. Pray
2. Be Patient

4. Offer Practical Help
5. Console Don’t Problem Solve
Just as a review, there are 7 stages of grief:
1. Shock and Denial
2. Pain and Guilt
3. Anger and Bargaining
4. Heaviness, Reflection, Loneliness
5. The Upward Turn
6. Reconstruction and Working Through
7. Acceptance and Hope
Please keep in mind, there are no time limits on any of these stages. They may overlap or be slightly reordered. But it will always land on some level of HOPE.

Losing a loved one can be a devastating experience for anyone, but the pain can be particularly tough to cope with for couples who have shared a life together for many years. If your spouse has lost a loved one, it’s important to lend a shoulder to lean on during this difficult time. In this article, we’ll look at some ways that you can help your spouse grieve and heal after experiencing a loss.
1. Be present and attentive.
Your spouse may be going through a range of emotions during the grieving process, and it’s important to be there for them. Make sure that you’re present and attentive, even if you’re not sure what to say or do. Simply being there to listen and offer support can be a huge comfort during this time.
2. Acknowledge their pain.
It’s important to acknowledge and validate your spouse’s pain, even if you’re struggling to find the right words. Remind them that you’re there for them and that you understand that they’re experiencing a range of emotions. Let them know that it’s okay to grieve and that you’re there to support them in any way that you can.
3. Offer practical support.
During the grieving process, your spouse might need some practical support with daily tasks. Offer to handle things like cooking, cleaning, or grocery shopping so that your spouse can focus on their grief. This can be a small but meaningful gesture that can make a big difference during this difficult time.
4. Encourage self-care.
Grief can be physically and emotionally draining, so it’s important to encourage your spouse to take care of themselves during this time. Encourage them to get enough rest, stay hydrated, and take time for themselves. This might mean suggesting activities like taking a walk, practicing yoga, or scheduling a massage.
5. Be patient and understanding.
Everyone grieves differently and at their own pace, so it’s important to be patient and understanding with your spouse. Don’t try to rush them through the process or minimize their feelings. Instead, offer a listening ear and support as they navigate their grief.
In conclusion, losing a loved one is one of the most difficult experiences that anyone can go through. As a spouse, it’s important to be there for your partner during this time and offer support in any way that you can. By being present, acknowledging their pain, offering practical support, encouraging self-care, and being patient and understanding, you can help your spouse grieve and heal after a loss.
My boyfriends mom died 8 days after my birthday and me and my boyfriend we’re only 7 months together when she die
Great video. Really helped me
Hope your channel gets bigger, more people should see this! Tone the background music down a bit, but all in all youre amazing!
This has been very helpful, thank you for posting
Thank you for this video. The music was a bit overpowering though
Thank you.
It was helpful
I am a non believer, but this was really helpful, I'm not marry yet, but recently my girlfriend's mother passed away and I'm a little bit cluless about how to deal with the situation.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you for your comforting words and tips
What if your newly engaged and he isn’t talk so much at all to you. Do these work then when your not in the same house
"Cherish each moment of Today. Yesterday has passed, and tomorrow is not yet. Today is the Yesterday you will remember Tomorrow." – MGParry 2021 – I don't qualify as a newlywed, or maybe I do. My wonderful wife and I almost reached our 51st year of being a newlywed. Over the past almost three months I have experienced many of the steps of the grief process. The only anger I felt and feel is with myself. The guilt and everything else has come and gone and come back many times.
Newlywed Husbands – if you are even reading this – Never let a day go by without letting your sweet wife know how much you love her and how much she means in your life. Make sure you go out of your way to let her know this in what you do and what you say. When you grow together for years you may have a tenancy to take your life with your wife as a normal, everyday process. Husbands, your wife is so special and when she leaves your life – for any reason – there is a big BIG hole in your heart and you will know grief.
Put in the time and effort to help yourself prepare for a time when you may loose your sweet and wonderful wife. Just remember "Cherish each moment of Today".
Thank you so much, this is soo useful. I have no spouse. But I have someone in my life that I care for so much, and it’s been hard to be there because of covid. And I just needed a guide/ reassurance in being there for him. Thank you for your video.
Within the first 6 months of our marriage, we lost 5 family members from Corona virus and my husband himself almost died, but lived to see himself become severely disabled and can't do his job right now.
There's more but it's too hard to express right now. Christmas wasn't "holly" or "jolly," like other family members thought it could be. His kids, my stepchildren just wanted to discuss memories of all the people who had died – and they needed to do it in German because his 9-y.o knows very little English.
I'm in B2 German but not as far with speech. They need to talk a kittle slower and I need a translator for words I've never heard.
