The Blog: Anything Mentionable #grief

At a time when the whole world grieves, my friend the grief therapist preaches self-compassion.

Two "listeners" succeed with perserverance, faith, and by making a difference in the most profound way.

The call comes, or the text or the email, and we find ourselves on the way to the home of a friend or loved one who has just suffered a loss, or to a visitation or a funeral. Then comes an almost universal anxiety and the haunting questions: When I approach the grieving person, what should I say? What should I do?

Making the decision to go where others hurt.
