Everyone has grief experiences. Deacons can pray and visit the family. Senior adult organizations fulfill some of the same roles as a Sunday School class but also can lead in organizing. You might even need to help the survivor get appropriate clothing for the funeral. The death notice is in the paper, along with the address and the time the house will be empty.
Somebody needs to stay there.
In the days and weeks after the funeral, the needs will change. A widow might need to learn how to handle the household business. A widower might need to learn how to do the laundry. Send a card to the home. Mentoring or counseling also can help someone work through grief.
