No More Perfect Podcast with Jill Savage
When a Loved One Hurts | Episode 245
When a loved one hurts, it can be hard to know how to respond and support them through the crisis or pain they feel.
Our first response is often to jump straight into “fix it” mode or lighten the mood by offering platitudes. However, the key to true comfort lies in a few key areas that Mark and I are going to talk about in this conversation. In our story, we’ve had quite the journey of learning how to best support one another—whether we are experiencing physical pain, emotional hurt, or just a difficult season of life.
In this episode, you’ll learn about:
- Some examples of crises and pain a loved one may be experiencing
- The importance of sitting in the pain with someone else
- A few ways to practically support someone going through a crisis
- And more!
Through my cancer journey and our marriage crisis, we received so much help and comfort from our friends, our family, and each other. We hope you will feel more equipped to offer support to a loved one after listening to this candid conversation.
