Tori Wilkerson is authentic, engaging, and believes "it is always better to laugh than to cry, even if you have to laugh whle you are crying." In this conversation, Tori reveals how her life dramatically changed after her mother's death, and how that experience became an unexpected ministry opportunity. We talk about the importance of community and how to tell our friends what we need from them. Tori helps us undertand grief and what to say to our friends when they are hurting. This is a beautiful, sacred conversation that will be helpful and hopeful for anyone navigating loss personally or alongside a friend. We are so thankful for Tori and you will be, too!
