We discuss tools for grievers to navigate friendships as well as helpful tips for friends of grievers who are unsure how to support their bereaved loved ones. 

Elena and Cassandra discuss:

• why relationships are difficult when grieving
• learning to ask for what you need
• when your "ride or dies" don't show up
• being surprised by the friends that do stick around
• give people the opportunity to show up
• practicing communicating what you want
• finding forgiveness for those who let you down
• fear around proximity to death
• what to say, what not to say
• Language of love as a way of support
• name something specific you can offer
• Listening instead of "fixing"
