Most of us have lost a loved one before, however it is generally pretty hard to comfort someone who has suffered a loss. Sometimes this is a very isolated and insular experience of pain. The person who experienced the loss may internalize their emotions or not know how to express them to people around them.

When a friend or someone you care about is grieving, it’s often difficult to know what to do or say — especially if you haven’t experienced similar grief.

As a professional cuddler, platonic therapeutic cuddling can be very effective for people experiencing any internal processes, confusion, stories or current states of life revolving around intimacy and connection.

Consensual platonic physical touch may help in these situations perhaps even more than talking would. Conversations can certainly take place, but some people prefer to just bask in the calm sense of connectedness, being cared for, and not feeling alone.
