Episode description

When you’re widowed there will be people in your life who will want to support you in your grief. They’re showing up because they care about you. 

They may not always know the right thing to say, or do, as what works for one person doesn’t always work for another. 

Grief is daunting, uncomfortable and scary for so many. Let's not make this worse by expecting them to get it all right all the time.

Listen as we discuss:  

  • The importance of letting go of the expectation of what people can and cannot say
  • How to show up for someone in grief  
  • What we can expect from others when we are grieving 
  • How to navigate your way through posts on social media 
  • How to respond to comments that don’t work for you in your moment of grieving
