Friends Grief Guide with Cassandra Geisel, "Light in Death" founder
We discuss tools for grievers to navigate friendships as well as helpful tips for friends of grievers who are unsure how to support their bereaved loved ones.
Elena and Cassandra discuss:
why relationships are difficult when grieving
learning to ask for what you need
when your "ride or dies" don't show up
being surprised by the friends that do stick around
give people the opportunity to show up
practicing communicating what you want
finding forgiveness for those who let you down
fear around proximity to death
what to say, what not to say
Language of love as a way of support
name something specific you can offer
Listening instead of "fixing"
