Stacy Knapp, a grief companion, is on Theology Meets World to share with Jake Doberenz about the experience of grief and how to come alongside someone who is grieving. They discuss the different types of losses people can experience, the importance of pausing before responding to someone's grief, and the need to create from identity rather than for identity. Stacy offers practical tips for supporting those who are grieving, such as sending a thoughtful card or message and remembering important dates. She also highlights the connection between grief companionship and the Trinity, emphasizing the presence and comfort of God in our grief.
