đź–¤ PART 3: The Support
This Saturday at 8AM on 89.9 KMOJ | The4Opinions 🎙️

Grief isn’t just about the person feeling the loss—
 It’s about the village around them too.

So many of us want to show up, but don’t know how.
What do you say when “I’m sorry” doesn’t feel like enough?
How do you hold space for someone without rushing their pain?

This week, we’re diving deep into what real support looks like during grief.
Not the “check in once and disappear” kind—
but the kind that sticks around, listens, and lets folks feel without fixing.

 Let’s talk about:
 • What NOT to say to someone who’s grieving
 • How to be present without overstepping
 • Ways to support when you feel helpless
 • And why sometimes, silence speaks louder than words

If you’ve ever struggled to comfort a loved one going through it—or if you are the one grieving and wish people understood you better—this episode is for you. .

Let’s do better. Together.
