In this episode, we tackle the common mistakes people make when trying to comfort someone in grief. From well-meaning but harmful phrases like “They’re in a better place” to the dangers of comparing losses or trying to "fix" their pain, we explore why these approaches can backfire. Discover how to avoid clichés, respect individual grieving processes, and offer genuine, compassionate support without feeling the need to fill every silence with words. If you want to be a better support system for someone in mourning, this episode is a must-listen.
