The Gut Check, for him.
A five-minute read on the man in your life.
Answer the questions the way you see him. You'll get a read on how he's really doing under the surface, what it's costing him, and what actually helps.
For the people around them
You're the one who can see it. Here's where to start.
Three tools built for the person around the loss. Use one, use all three, use them in the order that fits what's in front of you right now.
What Do I Say?
Learn how to handle emotionally-charged situations with confidence.
Someone you love is upset, and everything you try makes it worse. Explain what's going on and get ideas on words that help, what to say, what to never say, and why. Then practice in private, not on the person you love.
Say the Hard Thing.
Address important issues with confidence.
There's something you've been putting off saying, because you don't know how the other person will take it. Build it word for word, in your own voice, so it comes out right instead of coming out sideways. Then rehearse it until it's easy.
If something in your life is serious right now, for you or the person you love, the right next step is a real person: findahelpline.com, wherever you are in the world.
