Here is a sample letter which expresses the care and empathy for a friend who is grieving for a loved one:

Dear Friend,

Hi there. It’s been a while since we last talked. I am viewing this as a chance to pick up our friendship, to dust it off, and to see if we can get back on track. I also see this as a perfect opportunity to let you know that grief is hard to navigate and most people do not know how to make it any easier. So, forgive me for not knowing all the right words to say, but please know that I really care and I am here for you.

However, here is what I propose. You can text me, call me, email me, or whatever it is that you want. I’ll be there when you need someone who would listen to you or when you need a good hug.

Love,
Your Friend
