Sherrie Dunlevy on Supporting Grieving Friends

I had such a great discussion with Sherrie Dunlevy for this episode. Sherrie is the author of “How Can I Help? Your Go-To Guide for Helping Loved Ones Through Life’s Difficulties.” It was great to talk with her about how friends, family, colleagues, and neighbors can help the grieving people in their lives. Some topics Sherrie and I discuss include: The number one thing that people she interviewed said their friends did that was helpful to them in their grief; Common reasons people don’t reach out to a grieving friend; Why you shouldn’t base your decision to attend the funeral on how well you knew the deceased person; Her thoughts on what to say if you really don’t know what to say; Practical ideas for supporting grieving friends; and Her new podcast and Facebook group, Graduating Grief. I hope you enjoy my discussion with Sherrie Dunlevy. -=-=-=-=- Thank you sponsors & partners: Audible - Get a FREE audiobook and 30-day free trial: www.audibletrial.com/widowedparent BetterHelp - Talk with a licensed, professional therapist online.
