“I didn’t know what to say, so I said nothing.”
That’s what a friend shared last month. And it stuck with me because I understood. Most of us were never taught how to hold space for grief.
But grief doesn’t need fixing. It needs presence.
That’s why I created this guide: “When They’ve Lost a Job and You Haven’t: How to Hold Space Without Fixing, Minimizing, or Disappearing”
A guide for partners, friends, and colleagues.
Inside, you’ll find:
- What to say (and what not to)
- How to offer real support
- Managing your own discomfort
Let’s normalize not knowing what to say and still showing up anyway.
