Synopsis
Whether it′s the loss of a job, a marriage, or a life, in today′s 24/7 world we′re increasingly faced with uncomfortable situations where we don t know what to say yet we′re called upon to quickly respond –– online or in person. We may fumble, avoid contact, or simply walk away perplexed, thinking we have done a bad job of responding to our friends, family, neighbors, clients, and co–workers. How do we pause, listen, and offer comfort in those hard moments? Filled with touching stories, this practical guide helps us step into someone else′s shoes so that we can empathetically learn how to respond in times of need. The revised compact edition includes a new introduction, index and short reflections at the end of each chapter to help readers become more comfortable and effective when offering or accepting comfort in their demanding lives.

Doctors, nurses, patients, and their families all need this book, right now."

From the Inside Flap
We′re often faced with uncomfortable situations where we′re at a loss for words. A friend calls to tell you she′s lost her job. A colleague′s test results confirm it: he has cancer. The neighbors–who are like family–are moving. Your best friend′s mother has Alzheimer′s. Your spouse′s father suddenly dies; she didn′t get to say goodbye. Can you help? Should you help? What would be useful? What kinds of boundaries do we respect or lower? How do we pause to listen between the lines of silence to comfort someone who is afraid or in pain? Can we ask for what would comfort us when we are the one having a rough time? And are we able to receive it with grace?
Healing Conversations enables us to provide or ask for a new level of support when facing life′s inevitable challenges, transitions, and losses–at work, at home, and in our community. It is a practical guide to help you step into someone else′s shoes so that you can offer, ask for, or receive comfort. Reflections at the end of each chapter help you think more deeply about how to incorporate the principles of healing conversations and intentional kindness into your life.
