What NOT To Say When Someone’s Grieving

What NOT To Say When Someone’s Grieving

In this episode, Gabri gets real about the moment everyone dreads: when someone you love is grieving and you have no idea what to say. Most people mean well, but grief has a way of turning “comforting” phrases into something that feels minimizing, awkward, or even painful. Gabri breaks down why people freeze, why people accidentally make it about themselves, and why trying to “fix it” usually backfires.


This conversation is practical, not preachy. You will walk away with simple scripts you can actually use, what to text when you are scared of saying the wrong thing, and how to show up in a way that feels steady instead of performative. It also touches on the truth that grief changes your sensitivity, your patience, and your ability to hold space for people who have never experienced a deep loss.


If you have ever avoided someone because you did not know what to say, or you are the grieving person who is tired of hearing the same phrases, this one is for you.
