Mini Episode 2 | The 2 Words You Need To Stop Saying

April 9, 2020

There are two words that we need to erase from our vocabulary during this difficult time. People assume these two words help themselves and others get through a funk. Instead, they stunt the process of grief that we all need to walk through. Do you know what these two words are? Are you saying them? Tune in to find out.

The Two Words To Avoid:

2:30 What happens when we speak these two words to ourselves, our friends, and our family.
3:04 The dangers of comparative suffering.
3:52 The lie we’ve believed about pain.
5:09 What we should all be saying instead of these two words.

Resources And Quotes Mentioned During This Episode:

“Comparative suffering is dangerous. Empathy is not finite. When we practice empathy, we create more empathy. Hurt is hurt, and every time we honor our own struggle, and the struggles of others by responding with empathy, the healing that results affect us all.” @brenebrown
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28
“It is necessary to hold our pain in one hand, hold the pain of others in our other hand, and go to Jesus and lay them down at His feet.” @imbetweenshow
