Sarah Peterson, host of Enduring Grief and a licensed clinical social worker explores the delicate balance required to support someone in mourning. Sarah shares with listeners the "New Language of Grief". It is a Language in the way you think of the Five Love Languages - the different ways we communicate with others based on what they need. In this episode Sara examines what these languages might look like - from essential practices like setting boundaries and taking the lead in decision-making to relieve the overwhelmed griever. She discusses the significance of patience, open communication, and sensitivity to triggers. She even shares a valuable tool that's been created by her non-profit Clear Mourning - a "Supporters Grief Manual" that offers useful guidance (website below).
