Grief Support Inventory
Who to ask for what — specifically
The people around a griever often stop asking after a few weeks — not because they don't care, but because they don't know what to do. This sheet audits who's actually available and what to ask for.
My grief support inventory
Person
What they're best at (listening, meals, distraction, logistics)
What I'll actually ask them for
The people who have gone quiet
Who; a script I could send to reopen the door if I want to
Professional support
Therapist, grief group, spiritual community, medical — what's in place; what's missing
Ask specifically
'Let me know if you need anything' rarely works. 'Can you bring dinner Thursday' almost always does.
