E31: Supporting Someone #3: 12 Texts to Send a Grieving Friend This Holiday Season


Listen Later

Not sure what to say to someone grieving during the holidays? These 12 simple text messages are a powerful way to show care, even when you're not sure what to say.

You'll learn:

  • How to avoid common clichés like "Let me know if you need anything" or "You have so much to be thankful for!"

  • How to validate your friend's pain without trying to fix it

  • How you can offer presence via text without pressure for your griever to respond

  • How to gently remind them grief won't always feel this hard
