Have you ever thought, I don't know what to say" to someone who is walking through grief? I think a lot of us want to enter into someone else's pain, but we are afraid of saying the wrong thing. Maybe you can relate.

I am excited to introduce you to Cheri Fletcher. She made a wonderful product called Beyond, "I Don't Know What To Say." You definitely want to check out these grief communication cards. I love what she says, "These communication cards turn 'I don't know what to say' into a conversation that heals." This product is amazing!

Today, Cheri shares her story about the loss of her daughter, Annie as well as she is going to share with us about grief. I love what she shares on her cards, "Grief is complicated, but communication doesn't need to be." I know you are going to learn so much from Cheri.

Cheri Fletcher and I met from my conversation with Lynn Cowell and Michelle Nietert and their book, *Strong and Secure. Check out Depth Podcast Episode 247. Lynn shares a quote from Cheri and tagged her in the reel I made. Click this link to see the Instagram reel. Love how God connects His people!

Cheri Fletcher is a writer, speaker, and grief communicator whose work for over two decades has centered on the truth that our roles may change, but our purpose is eternal. After the loss of her daughter, Annie, her work deepened to give language to the lived experience of grief—especially child loss and its impact on identity and faith. She also created grief communication cards and is building a quieter, more intentional space for women navigating life after loss.

Cheri lives in Tennessee with her husband Todd, their lab Libby, and the joy of watching her two sons build lives with the daughters-in-law she prayed for long before she knew their names.
