Our notions of what can be soothing to bereft people in our lives is always going to be from our own POV. It’s all a guessing game and what works for one won’t necessarily work for another. But it is always a good idea to reach out. It is always going to matter that we’ve given space for memories, laughter, and sorrow. It is always good to reflect on the person who has died and give the opportunity for their name to be said aloud.
You won’t make a grieving person more sad. Just do it.
