Grieving At Christmas with Sarah Berger Dec 02, 2022

Show notes

Whereas Christmas is nothing but joy for some, it can be a stark reminder of what has been lost for others. Christmas, and any holiday or celebration for that matter, can hit a painpoint for those who are grieving a loved one's passing. It can also be difficult for those of us trying to comfort and encourage those in the midst of grief to know what to say. That's why Truth Talks with Tara is honored to have Sarah Berger, author of Hope in the Eleventh Hour, here today to talk about how to grieve with hope, what words to say to someone who is grieving, and the hope of heaven.
