The COVID-19 outbreak has further highlighted the need to strengthen support networks to sustain grieving people. However, we know very little about the experience of those who, because of their emotional connection with the bereaved person or of their social function, find themselves supporting people in grief. The current study aimed to analyze the experience of grievers' informal support providers (relatives and friends, teachers, religious leaders, funeral providers, pharmacists, volunteers, and social service workers). 162 in-depth interviews were collected (meanage = 42.3, SD = 14.9; women = 63.6%). Findings highlight two different ways of talking about one's experience and two different ways of offering support. Such dissimilarities do not relate to the period in which support was offered (before or during the pandemic). The results will be discussed in order to highlight emerging training needs to support bereaved people in their difficult transition.
