Today we're diving into a tender but important topic: how to be there for someone when they've experienced a profound loss. I open up about my personal journey of grief and offer some heartfelt advice. I talk about the power of just being there for someone, even if you feel a bit awkward or don't know what to say. I also touch on how to respect boundaries and give grieving loved ones their time and space, but don't hesitate to show your support with small gestures of kindness. And I share a crucial tip about connecting with grieving loved ones without piling on your own stories of loss and trauma too soon. Throughout, you'll feel like you're having a heart-to-heart chat with a friend who's been through it all and genuinely wants to help you navigate difficult seasons of loss.
