Punching something to get the anger out is the piece of grief advice that gets argued over most, and the honest answer is that hitting rarely leaves a person calmer.
Plenty of good people will tell you a bag is better than a wall or a face, and there is something in that. What has not held up is the older idea…
With someone grieving, offer your presence more than your words. Sit with them; let silence be enough.
You do not need the right thing to say. Being there, quietly and again and again, is the help.
