Holding Space When Words Fail: How to Be There for a Grieving Friend | The Friendship Project
This episode of The Friendship Project offers a compassionate, practical guide for women on how to support a friend through bereavement when words fail. Host Kari Hearn addresses the common paralysis friends feel when witnessing grief, explaining that the urge to flee or 'fix' pain stems from our own discomfort with mortality rather than a lack of care. This resource is essential for anyone who wants to move beyond hollow platitudes like 'time heals all wounds' and instead learn how to truly hold space for a grieving loved one without adding to their burden.
