Someone I Know Is Grieving – Caring with Humility and Compassion : Caring with Humility and Compassion

Someone I Know Is Grieving offers biblical, compassionate guidance for caring for hurting people with humility, wise listening, and Spirit-led love.

Bestselling author and counselor Edward T. Welch walks readers through the difficult task of coming alongside grieving people with genuine compassion and humility. When someone is grieving, it can be hard to know what to say or do. We want to be helpful, not hurtful, but it's easy to go wrong. The good news is that we can learn to approach those who are grieving with the same compassion that Jesus shows us when we are grieving. It starts with humility and listening well and expands into practical support as the Spirit leads us. In Someone I Know Is Grieving, Edward T. Welch leans on his many years of counseling grieving people to help readers learn from their compassionate Savior how to respond to people’s sadness and hard times without advice or trying to "fix it," but to instead hear their story, learn from others’ experiences, and depend on the Spirit for wisdom for what to say and do. With practical, accessible, spiritual guidance, Someone I Know Is Grieving gives readers the tools to avoid common mistakes in responding to grieving people, as well as a wise and kind way forward that expresses the love of God.It is part of the Ask the Christian Counselor series, which walks readers through their deepest and most profound questions.
