What not to say to a loved one who is grieving or depressed.

In this candid conversation, we tackle the delicate question: What not to say to a loved one or partner going through grief or depression?

It's easy to fall into offering solutions or sweeping things under the rug, but that often does more harm than good. We discuss the importance of avoiding phrases like "just get over it" and the dangers of trying to fix something that isn't easily understood.

Sometimes, simply being present and offering support is the best way to help someone process their pain. Join us as we explore how to show compassion and understanding in moments of deep emotional struggle.

This video is part of the "Breaking the Silence: Straight Talk on Mental Health" series at Cedar Hills Church, starting September 22, 2024.

This 7-week series aims to eliminate shame and discomfort around mental health by normalizing conversations, creating safe spaces, and providing biblical hope.

Join us as we explore topics like anxiety, depression, grief, and the power of community in supporting mental health.
