We constantly hear stories that tug at our heartstrings. A colleague’s dad is struggling to recuperate from major surgery, a friend’s adoption falls through, or a neighbor loses his job and is having difficulty finding a new one. We want to be supportive and help those facing difficulties but we often don’t know what to say or do. When the right words are hard to find, you need a resource to help you help others. Robbie Miller Kaplan's How to Say it When You Don't Know What to Say: The Right Words for Difficult Times provides insight into the process of grief and offers practical advice on how to provide comfort. It includes not only specific things to say and do but also sample sympathy letters and advice from experts, professionals, and individuals with words of wisdom to reach out to those who are dealing with: illness, death of a loved one, job loss, separation, divorce, pet loss, infertility, miscarriage, natural disasters, financial setbacks, disability, crime victimization, caregiver responsibilities, family problems, and more.
