It is important to be kind to oneself and not worry about what others may think.\n\nSupporting someone who is grieving involves being present, listening without judgment, and offering practical help and acts of service.\n\nIt is important to have conversations about difficult topics and provide support for those going through grief.\n\n------------------------------\nLinks Discussed in This Episode\n\nOrder a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity\n\nSubstack:\xa0Minimalist Moms Podcast\n\n\nBook:\xa0Smoke Gets In Your Eyes by Caitlin Dougherty\n\n\nConnect with Krista:\n\nWebsite\n\nInstagram\n\nPodcast: The Widowed Mom Podcast\n\n\n\nEnjoy this Podcast?\nPost a review and share it!\xa0If you enjoyed tuning into this podcast, then do not hesitate to write a review.
