The death of a loved one can be one of the most painful experiences in life but knowing what to say and do can be difficult. Mis-timed words can be an enemy that doesn't comfort. Being unsure of how to be present while someone grieves is more common than we know, and we can often say and do things that can make matters worse.
Michelle Harris shares her first-hand experience of what it's like to walk through grief and how we can all support in genuine and meaningful ways. In this book, she reintroduces the realities of grief, provides practical approaches to support, and challenges us to make additional considerations.
