Sandberg's holiday advice: Don't leave grieving folks alone. Show empathy, take action, and don't do nothing! Be there, be understanding, and make a difference.
Don't Let Them Be Alone 🎄
- Invite them to parties, outings, and activities to combat isolation. Create opportunities for connection and prevent them from feeling alone.
Be Empathetic 🤶🏻
- Understand the difficulty they're facing and avoid expecting cheerfulness. Offer support without judgment and validate their emotions.
Don't Do Nothing 🧑🏿🎄
- Take action and show your support. Prepare meals, invite them for dinner, or spend time together. Even small gestures like cards and phone calls can make a difference.
