EP. 48 | The Two Words That Don't Help Someone Grieving (And What Actually Does)
When someone you care about loses someone they love, it’s hard to know what to say. You want to comfort them, to make it better, but most of us were never taught how to show up in the face of raw grief.
After losing both my mum and sister in separate tragedies, I realized we're walking through one of the most universal human experiences - grief- with zero training. No wonder we're all fumbling through it.
In this episode, I'm sharing the grief education we all missed:
Why we freeze up and don't reach out (and how to get past that)
The well-meaning words that actually invalidate pain
What "making it bearable" really means (vs. trying to fix it)
The bear hug that taught me everything about true support
How to check in months later when everyone else has moved on
I'm not coming at this from a judgy, preachy place—because none of us were taught this. I just want us all to do better now that we know better.
Whether you've avoided reaching out because you didn't know what to say, or you're grieving and feeling misunderstood—this one's for you.
