How to Offer Comfort to Those Who Are Hurting (Without Making It About Us)

How to Offer Comfort to Those Who Are Hurting (Without Making It About Us)

This is about the challenging topic of grief and supporting loved ones through loss. I share insights on how to genuinely help friends and family experiencing profound sadness, emphasizing the importance of showing up consistently and authentically. I offer practical advice like saying the loved one's name, providing specific help, and being present long after the initial mourning period. I also discuss how to help children navigate grief, teaching them compassion and emotional awareness. My message is clear: grief is a lifelong journey, and we shouldn't shy away from supporting those in pain. I stress that it's not about saying the perfect thing, but about making people feel loved, seen, and supported. By leaning in during difficult times, we create a compassionate environment that helps people heal. My goal is to provide tools and understanding for moms dealing with loss and supporting others through their grief.
