Being There: How to Support a Friend Seeking an Annulment

In this episode, Jess sits down with Cheryl Hansen, a Tribunal Advocate, to talk about what it looks like to walk closely with someone going through the painful and often confusing journey of divorce and annulment. 

Jess and Cheryl discuss:

• How to support someone considering divorce while still encouraging hope for healing in their marriage.
• Why people often seek validation from faithful friends—and how to respond with both clarity and love.
• What words and attitudes are most helpful (and unhelpful) when someone is navigating the annulment process.

Cheryl Hansen serves as a Tribunal Advocate in the Diocese of Bismarck, North Dakota. She is also the President of the Michelle Duppong Guild.
