Cultivating Compassion

Practical Advice as You Walk a Friend through a Season of Loss

De: Lynne Hoeksema

Narrado por: Lynne Hoeksema

Do you want to disappear down a different aisle in the grocery store when you see a grieving friend walk through the front door?

That's exactly what the author did. Then her husband of 31 years died, and she got a crash course - the hard way - on what was helpful during this devastating time, and what was unintentionally hurtful.

Feeling ill-equipped to be a natural nurturer is a nearly universal phenomenon. Cultivating Compassion will give you a roadmap to teach you what to do or say that will help your hurting friend.

The author "uncomplicates" the conversations, and gives you the exact words to say or avoid. And more importantly, she shares the "whys" behind those suggestions.

So, whether your friend has lost a spouse, a child, a job, their health, or their status quo, Cultivating Compassion is the resource you need. It's a short "lunch-hour" listen designed to quickly equip you with tools you need for your compassion arsenal. It will give you the confidence you need to step into your friend's hurting world and be the blessing they desperately need during their season of loss.

Highly recommend!

This booklet is packed full of practical specific ideas on how to come alongside a friend or family member who is grieving the loss of a loved one. After listening, I felt like I wanted to share this book with everyone I know. I will be listening to this book again, probably numerous times when I need to be reminded and encouraged. The author of this book does the narration and it is the icing on the cake. The narration is superb!
