How Do You Comfort the Grieving?
After something difficult occurs, there are various ways people try to support. Some responses are helpful and others are not.
I was in a counseling program when my husband unexpectedly died in bed next to me. One of my colleagues (a future counselor and chaplain) later told me he avoided engaging with me, because he did not know what to say. If a chaplain and future counselor doesn’t know what to say, what does that mean for everyone else?
