NOTES

Read by Nancy Guthrie

We want to say or do something that helps our grieving friend. But what? When someone we know is grieving, we want to help. But sometimes we stay away or stay silent, afraid that we will do or say the wrong thing, that we will hurt instead of help. In this straightforward and practical book, Nancy Guthrie provides us with the insight we need to confidently interact with grieving people. Drawing upon the input of hundreds of grieving people, as well as her own experience of grief, Nancy offers specifics on what to say and what not to say, and what to do and what to avoid. Tackling touchy topics like talking about heaven, navigating interactions on social media, and more, this book will equip readers to support those who are grieving with wisdom and love. - Filled with practical examples from grieving people who have been helped (and hurt) during their loss - Author has firsthand experience with grieving and being consoled after losing two of her own children - Author is known as an expert when it comes to dealing with grief because of her connection with GriefShare, Respite Retreats, and books she has written, including Holding On to Hope and Hearing Jesus Speak into Your Sorrow
