I won’t lie, I am absolutely ridiculous when it comes to giving emotional support! I need some tips to say the right thing.
I have a work colleague who lost a son and it is the anniversary of the child’s death today.
Something a little more then… I’m sorry.

This is me. I feel empathy deeply but I never know how to convey it in a way that feels sincere!
I've actually started being honest and telling the person that I don't know what to say but they are always in my thoughts and that I'm always available to lend an ear - listening I can do!
This is me, I don’t want to say anything, then I find everyone else has had chats and knows stuff and then I feel bad for not asking. So ask. Do you need anything? I’ve been thinking of you? WhAt are you doing? Do you have any plans? Who do you have around? Do you have support?
