What if the way we try to help is actually making things harder?

In this episode of The Sucky Sisterhood Podcast, Peyton sits down with Jennifer Hernandez, a Care Ministry Director and loss mom who is passionate about walking with people through grief in honest and meaningful ways.

Together, they talk about:

• The importance of self-awareness when supporting someone in grief
• How well-intentioned care can sometimes cause harm
• What it looks like to show up with presence instead of pressure

Jennifer shares from both her personal experience of losing her son, Charlie, and her work in ministry, where she supports individuals and families in difficult seasons. She offers practical and thoughtful insight into how we can better care for others without unintentionally placing our own emotions or expectations onto them.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that support doesn’t require perfection, but it does require humility, awareness, and a willingness to truly see the person in front of you.
