Grief Survivor: 30 Steps Toward Hope and Healing নমুনা

LISTEN MORE, TALK LESS

Maybe you're one of the rare individuals who knows exactly what to say in a difficult time of loss. Unfortunately, for the other 99% of us, grief makes us uncomfortable. And in an attempt to fill the silence, we sometimes say crazy things, trying to make sense of something that makes no sense.

Showing up for a hurting friend isn't always easy, but can be a sacred gift for someone feeling devastated by loss. Your presence, without trying to fix anything, can assure them that you care and that they're not alone.

Reflect: When going into a hard situation after loss, be sure to pray first, listen as long as your friend wants to talk, and allow the Lord to guide your words.
