Want to be there for someone grieving but terrified of saying the wrong thing? This free worksheet helps you show up well.

Someone you care about is grieving, and you want to be there — but you’re terrified of saying the wrong thing, making it worse, or accidentally making it about you. That fear is actually a sign of how much you care. It’s also, unfortunately, what keeps a lot of people from showing up at all.

This free worksheet won’t give you a perfect script. It helps you understand what grieving people actually need, gives you real language to lean on, and shows you how to be present in a way that genuinely helps — even when you have no idea what to say.

• Understanding what’s actually holding you back from reaching out
• Learning what grieving people actually need — presence over fixing
• Practicing language that helps instead of language that hurts
• Checking whether what you want to say is for them or for you

You don’t have to be perfect — you just have to keep showing up.
