[Ep 102] Sitting with Others in their Grief and Loss with Grief Coach Julie Lynn Ashley

How do you support a friend or family member—or even "just" an acquaintance—who has just lost someone they love? Are you willing to step into that sacred space of grief with them? Or, if they need additional support, can you point them toward someone who can be there in that more professional role? Let me introduce you to Grief Coach Julie Lynn Ashley. Julie Lynn offers 1:1 coaching services to individuals who are in the midst of grief, specific to the death of a loved one. Julie Lynn shares how God has called her into this work, and then we dive into some really practical questions about how to support others who are grieving. It's a conversation you won't want to miss.
