Listen "15. The Best Way to Support Grieving Friends"
Episode Synopsis
This episode of the Joyfully Managed Life podcast provides insights into how well-meaning phrases might not be as helpful during a loved one's challenging times as we think. Jessica discusses the phrase "let me know if there's anything I can do" and explains that while it comes from a place of genuine concern, it puts the onus on the person struggling to reach out and ask for help. Instead, she proposes offering tangible and specific assistance, wherein the supporter takes meaningful and concrete action, lightening the burden of the person facing the hardship. The emphasis is on giving rather than asking, more doing than saying, with a simple shift in perspective that can significantly improve the support we provide during tough times.
