The prompt

Someone close to me has died, and I'm struggling. Please talk with me gently and help me get through the next few weeks. Who I lost: [relationship], when: [how long ago] How I'm feeling: [anything I want to share] Practical things weighing on me: [e.g. rituals, paperwork, work leave, family responsibilities] Support around me: [family, friends, community, faith] Please: 1. Listen first: reflect back what I've shared, without rushing to fix it. 2. Explain in simple words that grief can come in waves and look different for everyone. 3. Help me make a short list of small things for this week: eating, sleeping, one person to talk to, one practical task. 4. If paperwork is pressing, list the common steps (death certificate, bank, insurance, pension), marked [CHECK], to tackle later. 5. Suggest ways to remember them: writing a letter, a memory box, a small ritual. If I mention thoughts of harming myself, gently encourage me to contact someone right away, such as Tele-MANAS 14416 or emergency services at 112 in India.
