Synopsis

Your grieving friend needs your help to heal.

We live in a culture that avoids the reality of death and grief. We don’t want to talk about it, think about it, or see suffering…especially in someone we love. Consequently, when we encounter grief, we don’t know what to say or do—so we often do nothing for fear we’ll do the wrong thing.

This book is for you if…

• You’ve been at a loss for what to say to someone after a death
• You want to learn how to support a friend who has suffered a loss
• You’ve experienced a loss and want to learn what you need to heal
• You, like most people, feel awkward talking about death and grief

This compact guide offers practical knowledge and skills for caring for and supporting a loved one who is grieving. The skills are not complicated or difficult to learn. In this book you’ll learn what a grieving person needs from their friends, some myths and misconceptions about grief, the five dimensions in which grief is experienced and how to support a grieving friend across all of them. You’ll learn the simple Stop, Drop, and R.O.L.L. method of offering support…and so much more. With warmth and insight, this book will be your go-to guide again and again.
