I’ve always been a writer. For as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is scribbling on a piece of paper and asking my older sister what it said. Of course, it said nothing, but I’ve always felt a pull to write. When I was eight years old, I was given my first “official” journal.

Not because I want to dismiss your experiences, but because I want you to know and notice that goodness and grief can coexist. I want you to notice the small love notes that the universe is sending to you each day. I want you to see the small messages of purpose that are being sent to you each and every day.

In this episode, we’re going to talk about ways you can be more empathetic and more supportive to those around you who may be grieving at this time. Empathy is a skill we learn and practice. It’s something we continuously learn. It’s a muscle that we have to work regularly once we gain the ability. Continuous practice will allow us to grow in ways we never thought we could. It allows us to become the friend we’ve needed in the past, the friend people will need in the future and the friend people reach out to today.
