Maybe because they think they must say something or don't know what to say, people can say stupid, sometimes mean, and even hurtful things to someone who just lost a loved one. 

In today's episode, I'm thrilled to welcome back the wonderful John Polo. John is a Coach, Speaker, Podcaster, and Author of multiple books focused on helping people go from grief to self-growth, recover and nurture their self-esteem, start dating again as widows, and more. 


Throughout this episode, we discuss the theme of John's latest book, \"The Stupid Sh*t People Say to Grievers.\" We delve into what inspired John to write this book, the surreal things he learned researching for this book people say to grievers, and what's the best thing we can do to respect people's pain and grief. 


Paul also talks about the importance of acknowledging and being honest about our own pain, investing in self-care when experiencing loss, respecting people's pain, and more.


Tune in and listen to episode 122 of Grief and Happiness, and make sure you are not the one who says stupid sh*t to a griever.
