pickThis is a wonderful little guide for what to say and what not to say (and what to do/not to do) when someone is going through a hard thing. I‘m a medium, hospice volunteer and an abortion doula—and there is always something new I learn. A favorite word: Kummerspeck: grief bacon. It means, eating your feelings. We all experience Trauerklob sometimes; we must acknowledge it when others do to, but gently approach it. This book is great for ⬇️
Happy Sunday, Littens! 🎉 I wanted to share some exciting news—our book-loving family just got a little bigger! 📚 A wonderful friend and colleague, @TreenaReads has joined the Litsy crew! Let‘s give her the warmest welcome and show her all the literary love we‘ve got! 💖📖
A children's book that portrays care and humanity
To overcome a crisis, a person needs to allow themselves to experience the full range of emotions that arise and receive validation through the empathy of others
When giving advice, people tend to take less ownership of their feelings and their healing process

Our empathy makes this possible
So touching!
