“Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” Maya Angelou
When someone you love suffers a profound loss, it can be hard to know how to respond. Words often fail, and well-meaning actions can unintentionally deepen the pain. While many resources explore what not to say or do, this book focuses on what to do instead—offering practical guidance and heartfelt insights to truly support those walking through grief.
Written by The Pastor’s Widow, who intimately understands the pain of loss, this compassionate guide is designed for anyone who desires to love and care for the grieving well. It provides practical advice, gentle encouragement, and spiritual reminders to help navigate the delicate journey of mourning with mindful compassion.
Each page includes:
- Specific, actionable steps to avoid common missteps.
- A thoughtful exploration of grief from the perspective of the bereaved.
- Encouraging verses from God’s Word to seek His heart in moments of suffering.
Whether you’re comforting a close friend, a family member, or an acquaintance, INSTEAD equips you to make a meaningful impact on their grief journey.
Don’t just tell them you care; instead, show them you do.
