Please join us on Sunday, November 29th at 4pm, as Natalie Silverstein discusses Simple Acts of Care: How to Help When Loved Ones Are Hurting in conversation with Jessica Fein. When someone we love gets bad news or experiences a loss, we want to help but often have no idea how to begin. We worry about saying the wrong thing, so we say too much, or nothing at all. Natalie Silverstein has spent the past decade learning what actually helps and in Simple Acts of Care: How to Help When Loved Ones are Hurting, she offers a practical, warm-hearted guide for friends, family, neighbors who want to show up for someone in crisis, and for the caregivers standing beside them.
