Don’t you just love a good foot in your mouth moment? How about when someone you care about is grieving and you learn that something you said, which was intended to helpful and encouraging, was actually not. Ugh!!! Words are so hard! Our hearts intend to do good and our words come out and mess everything up. In this episode we are gonna chat (very gently) about things that can be helpful and encouraging to say and do when someone you love is grieving a loss...and things that aren’t. It’s a super delicate topic and I can feel the tenderness in every bone of my body. However, just because it’s hard to talk about doesn’t mean we shouldn’t. Plus, it was a good time of reflection for me as I thought about just how good my community cared for and loved on me during my darkest days.
