E59: Supporting Someone #9: 3 Phrases to Help Someone Grieving (LIVE Book Party Talk Replay!)
In this special "Supporting Someone" episode, you'll hear the live recording of my author talk from the Of Course I'm Here Right Now book launch party in Chicago—a practical, story-driven breakdown of three phrases that help supporters show up for grieving people with confidence and care.
You'll learn:
Why grieving people tell themselves three core stories—"I'm crazy," "I'm alone," and "My life will be like this forever"—and how those stories shape their relationships and sense of self
Why words are the most powerful free grief support tool available to anyone, regardless of money, time, or emotional bandwidth
How three simple phrases—"Of course," "I'm here," and "Right now"—each interrupt one of those painful stories
How to use these phrases across any type of loss, any time frame, and any medium—from sympathy cards to text messages sent years after the loss
