The official Book Club Facilitator’s Guide for Of Course I'm Here Right Now provides a structured framework, thoughtful questions, and compassionate scripts to confidently lead an impactful conversation on comforting the people we care about through life’s toughest times.
Equip your community or organization with the tools to replace empty cliches like "Sorry for your loss" and “Everything happens for a reason” with language that actually helps people feel seen, validated, and less alone. Download the discussion guide today and host an event that leaves everyone feeling gently held and supported as they learn how to support others with their words.
Thoughtfully designed by me, Shelby Forsythia, for both in-person and online book discussion groups. 💚
