This list is important because so many people do not know what to do or say to someone who is griefing. No. 15 is a good one. We tend to those in the grieving process because it makes us uncomfortable. In contrast, including a person who is in crisis/griefing helps that person to feel less alone. Sometimes, the best thing we can do is listen.

Absolutely. Listen if the person feels like talking and respect his/her silence if s/he doesn't.

Death is not the only way to incur a loss. I believe it is the most horrible and traumatic way, but not the only way. People can grieve for other reasons too.

Very true.
