To social supports, it provides empathic listening, tolerating awkward responses from the bereaved, and observing a task that needs to be done and do it vicariously, etc. To the bereaved, it offers cognitive restructuring, self-monitoring of thoughts and recording, increasing help-seeking behaviours, Premack principle, time out, self-compassion, bibliotherapy, and reinforcement, among other therapies, to manage grief and trauma during bereavement.
