What does “empathy” mean when we help those who are grieving?
Empathy is about listening with your heart so that you can share what is happening with your friend. Empathy provides an underlying message of acceptance of where your friend is coming from even if you have not been there yourself. The power of empathy results from its ability to keep communication open because it does not judge, try to change or solve, belittle or criticize. Empathy gives grieving people permission to do two very important tasks in healing – to talk and to feel.
Lifted from TCF – Queensland.
