Of Course I'm Here Right Now: Three Actually Helpful Things to Say to Someone Grieving
What do I say to someone who is grieving?

When someone we love is grieving, we want to help, but we often don't know what to say. "I'm sorry" feels empty. "Let me know if there's anything I can do" puts pressure on them to ask. "Time heals all" only makes things worse. But what if, instead of avoiding the conversation or saying something unintentionally hurtful, you had three simple phrases that reliably offer comfort?

Of Course I'm Here Right Now is your guidebook to supporting a grieving friend, family member, client, or anyone who's grieving, and doing so with confidence and compassion. Here, experienced grief coach Shelby Forsythia introduces three essential phrases that, when used appropriately, can provide immediate relief and long—term reassurance.

Through real—life examples, practical scripts, and a sensitive, compassion—first approach, this book equips you to say something truly meaningful even when words feel inadequate, to show up for the grieving person in a way that strengthens your relationship, and to stop second—guessing yourself as you offer comfort that resonates.

Whether you're consoling someone after a death, divorce, diagnosis, or another loss, Of Course I'm Here Right Now ensures you'll never be at a loss for words again.
