1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 300 600 When something sad, bad, or anxiety producing happens in the life of someone we care about, our immediate instinct is to comfort.&amp;nbsp; Of course it is – we’re good people! &amp;nbsp;And often this instinct is useful because comforting is exactly what the situation calls for; for example a child’s bruised knee or a nervous first day on the job are both situations where a “there, there, you’ll be okay” goes a long way. However, in the early days of grief, there is very little anyone can&amp;nbsp;say&amp;nbsp;to take away a griever’s pain and there is very little value in summing up the situation with a positive or inspiring platitude. So,&amp;nbsp;we suggest people hoping to&amp;nbsp;providing support. &amp;nbsp;In this video podcast, we outline what this new conceptualization means.
