Empathy VS Sympathy
New episode of Love&BLoved Platform! “Empathy VS Sympathy”. Thank you for your continued support and for following along. My guests say: " I am passionate about giving hope to those who are grieving a devastating loss.” Joining me today is Shirley Thiessen.
Shirley Thiessen is obsessed with the fact that no one should have to grieve alone. Yet most people don't know what is helpful to say or do to support their grieving friend. Fear stops many from doing anything. But avoidance is not a compassionate option.
As one who understands the awkwardness we often feel, Shirley creates resources and experiences that serve as a playbook of best practices to care for the broken hearted. Shirley is the author of "The Little Black Funeral Dress", founder of CornerBend Grief Ministries. Shirley & her husband Carey have 2 adult children. Their daughter Chantel lives in Calgary and their son, Jordan, lives in Heaven.
On today’s episode, Shirley is going to share:
- We need compassionate friends - Hope Heroes - to help us navigate the disorienting grief journey.
- God invites us to participate with Him to recycle our pain for His good purpose.
- The secret to our own soul care is countercultural but leads to healing:serving others!
