Offer Practical Support
While listening and validation are important, sometimes a sad person may need more practical support. This can include offering to help with tasks or errands, providing transportation to appointments, or simply spending time with them to provide emotional support.
When offering practical support, it's important to be clear and specific about what you're able to offer. For example, rather than saying, "Let me know if you need anything," you might say, "I'm available on Tuesday to drive you to your appointment," or "I can help you with the grocery shopping this week."
