When someone you love is grieving a suicide loss, it’s easy to feel frozen—unsure what to say, how to help, or whether your presence will make a difference. But the truth is, your faithful presence can be one of the most powerful ways to reflect Christ’s love.

In this heartfelt episode, I share practical, compassionate ways to support a grieving friend—what to say (and what not to say), how to avoid Christian clichés, and why consistent care matters long after the funeral is over. You’ll also hear my own story of learning how to show up for someone walking through the kind of grief I know all too well.

If you’ve ever wondered how to love a grieving friend like Jesus would, this conversation will equip you with tools, empathy, and faith-based encouragement so you can be present in both prayer and action. Because no one should have to process grief and loss alone.
