How to support people through loss How To Build Community

Loss and grief affect all of us at some point in our lives. This episode is about offering support to people who are grieving. Barnabé Anzaruni, a theologian based in Kenya, shares his personal experiences with loss and grief and provides advice on how best to support someone through the process. Barnabé explains that language often fails to provide comfort during grief and that words can sometimes cause harm, even if well-intended. Instead, he suggests that the best way to support someone who is grieving is to listen and to understand the role of lament in the process.
