Welcome to Pursuing Joy! In this episode we have a very special guest joining us - Clarissa Moll. She is an author, podcaster, mom to 4 kiddos and the young widow of author Rob Moll. She joins us for this episode to discuss her journey with grief and graces us with insight on how to love those who are grieving better. Tune in as Clarissa answers questions about how to support children grieve, what’s appropriate to say at a funeral/visitation, how we can love those who have turned away from their faith while grieving and so much more. Grief is something that touches just about every person, so whether you are grieving someone yourself, you are supporting someone who is grieving or you are just looking to gain understanding into something that can be a bit uncomfortable to talk about you do not want to miss this episode!
