How to Help Your Grieving Friend: The Series
On September 22, 2007, Abraham and I went from expecting our second child, a fully-developed, viable, 39-week-old little girl, to being parents of a stillborn daughter. In the aftermath of this tragedy, I learned a lot about how to love people who are grieving and tried to capture some of this newfound wisdom (that I wish I hadn’t found like this) in these posts.
