Send us Fan Mail Grief is something none of us can avoid, yet many of us feel completely unprepared when it touches our lives or the lives of those we love. In this episode of Living the Reclaimed Life, co-host Robin Blumenthal sits down with Ashley Hughes, founder and executive director of Joy in the Mourning. After experiencing the traumatic loss of her husband at a young age, Ashley found herself navigating a journey she never expected. Through her own grief, God planted a passion in her heart to help others who are walking through loss and to equip friends, families, churches, and communities to better support those who are grieving. Ashley shares her personal story, the lessons she has learned through suffering, and practical ways we can come alongside those experiencing loss with compassion, understanding, and hope. This conversation offers encouragement for anyone who is grieving, as well as valuable insight for those who want to be a better friend, family member, or support person to someone facing one of life's most difficult seasons.
