This Week’s Listener Question:

Looking back before your best friend died, what do you wish you’d known and what surprised you about grief?

SOUL Group Questions:

Ask each other these questions to build a stronger connection with a friend or in your Soul Group

1. Laura and Aubrey invited you into their intimate conversation and shared raw stories of grief and loss. What’s one story you can relate to?

2. When Aubrey’s best friend, Jenn, was dying, she visited her often and stayed close; yet, God seemed to be far away. When have you had a season in life when God seemed distant or silent?

3. Why do you think it’s helpful to share our grief and heartache with other women? How has your life benefited when you have been vulnerable and honest with a girlfriend?

4. What’s one thing you want to remember from Laura and Aubrey’s real and raw conversation? Does knowing that encourage you to take action or make a change?
