How to Help Grieving Friends

Links to two columns I wrote on this subject

Over on Twitter, Mary Katherine Hamm, who knows what it’s like to grieve, has posted a video and additional thoughts on three things to say to people in crisis. Her advice is practical and helpful.

I used to write a column for a local weekly newspaper in suburban Cincinnati. From my experiences as a pastor assisting grieving people and my reading of the Bible, I wrote a two-part series on How to Help a Grieving Friend. I’ve had people tell me how helpful they found these articles. Maybe you will too.
