Why do we as a death-phobic culture offer the words "Let me know if you need anything" to those experiencing grief, loss, or huge life shifts? What exactly does "Anything" entail? In this SOLO episode, Elena breaks down the concept of learning how to ask for what you need as a grieving person, and how to genuinely offer help to those in mourning.

Topics covered include:

• why do people offer condolences in this way? 
• how do we discern those who are genuine 
• delegating our needs to those we trust
• what types of things can we ask for help with?
• being OKAY with receiving a "No" or rejection
• vulnerability in speaking your needs to someone you love
• worthiness around deserving support & receiving
• how ancestrally, a tribal culture leads to a more supportive community around grief
• being under-resourced as a society leads to lacking the ability to offer support
