The guys had so much fun last episode talking about practical advice over their grief journey that they decided to keep the energy going and offer practical advice directly for friends and family. Having a close relative or friend go through child loss can be difficult to manage, so the guys try to offer some helpful tips to help.

The boys talk about the following:

- Acknowledge they are grieving

- Just Listen

- Allow Yourself to Feel and Cry

- Avoid Comparing Losses

- Offer Activities to Get Them Out of the House

- Avoid Offering Too Many Gifts

- Do Not Ignore or Disappear

- Offer to Help with Living Children (if applicable)

We hope you enjoy!
