What to Say to Someone Grieving (Most People Get This Wrong) | Shelby Forsythia | TPOT 432

<p><strong>Grief is something every one of us will face at some point, and yet most of us have no idea what to say when someone is hurting.</strong></p> <p>In this episode, I'm joined by Shelby Forsythia, a grief coach, author, and host of the Grief Grower podcast. Shelby shares her own story of profound loss and how it shaped the work she does today, helping people navigate grief in a way that actually honors what they are going through.</p> <p>We talk about why so many common phrases miss the mark, what grieving people are really experiencing beneath the surface, and how grief doesn't just affect your emotions, it changes your identity. Shelby also breaks down the three simple phrases that can completely shift how you support someone in pain.</p> <p>If you've ever felt unsure of what to say, or worried about saying the wrong thing, this conversation will give you a clearer path forward.</p> <p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Resources Mentioned In This Episode </strong></span></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@PsychCraftNetwork">Subscribe to YouTube</a></p> <p><a href="https://youtu.be/cq2drwKci2k">Watch on YouTube</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.therapynotes.com/">Use the promo code "GORDON" to get 2 months of Therapy Notes free</a></p> <p><a href= "https://practiceoftherapy.com/private-practice-consulting-and-coaching-services/"> Consulting with Gordon</a></p> <p><a href="https://psychcraftnetwork.com/">The PsychCraft Network</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/practiceoftherapy/">Follow us on Instagram</a></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Meet Shelby Forsythia</strong></span></p> <p>Shelby Forsythia (she/her) is a grief coach, author, and podcast host. In 2020, she founded Life After Loss Academy, an online course and community that has helped dozens of grievers grow and find their way after death, divorce, diagnosis, and other major life transitions.</p> <p>Following her mother's death in 2013, Shelby began calling herself a "student of grief" and now devotes her days to reading, writing, and speaking about loss. Through a combination of mindfulness tools and intuitive, open-ended questions, she guides her clients to welcome grief as a teacher and create meaningful lives that honor and include the heartbreaks they've faced. Her work has been featured in Huffington Post, Bustle, and The Oprah Magazine.</p> <p><a href="https://www.shelbyforsythia.com">Website</a><br /> <a href= "https://www.shelbyforsythia.com/grief-grower-podcast">Grief Grower Podcast</a><br /> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/shelbyforsythia/">Shelby on Instagram</a></p>
