  • Summary

  • Sometimes we don't know what to say to people who are in grief, so we fall back on what we've heard other people say. That can be good, but at other times, that can be very bad when what we've heard people say in the past is hurtful to those who are already hurting. 

    In this episode, I discuss three platitudes people sometimes use when talking with those in grief: 

    • S/He's in a better place.
    • Everything happens for a reason.
    • God never gives you more than you can handle.

    I talk about why these remarks are hurtful and what might be helpful to say instead.
