In this episode of the Hope + Help Podcast, host Christine Chappell interviews Ed Welch about his book, Someone I Know is Grieving: Caring with Humility and Compassion. Some of the questions addressed in this interview are:

• What might a person be thinking or feeling as they navigate a season of grief?

• What are different causes of grief we should be aware of and prepared to recognize as we seek to handle sufferers with care?

• How does the way we respond to our own sorrows and griefs shape the way we engage and help others?

• What does Christ's wisdom have to do with the way we engage someone else's grief?

• What are some hurtful ways we might engage grieving people in conversation? What are some helpful ways to extend a compassionate invitation to conversation?

• How does Christlike humility guard us from speaking harshly or hastily to grieving people?

• What can the local church do to improve upon their care for whose who are grieving?
