Making Room for Loss and Grief In Life and Ministry, with Leanne Friesen (Ep 112)

“If you are supporting a grieving friend, one of the greatest gifts you can give is the room to talk about it.”

Leanne Friesen knows about grief. As a former pastor and the author of Grieving Room: Making Space for All the Hard Things after Death and Loss, she talks with wisdom and compassion about the difficult, but important principles she learned as she went through the death of her sister more than a decade ago.

In this conversation, Leanne and I talk specifically about how pastors, family members, and other caring people can help give people the room to process their grief when they go through a profound loss. We also address how to process those feelings ourselves.

How to Give People Room When They’re Not “Getting Over” Their Grief, with Leanne Friesen

A subscribers-only conversation with Leanne Friesen about one of the hardest aspects of grief – what happens when you can’t seem to “get over it” the way people seem to think you should?

As Leanne explains, when a loved one dies, the ones who have lost them need room for grief to be a part of their lives for the rest of their life. By recognizing this, they can deal with it in a much healthier way.
