What to say and do when life is scary, awful, and unfair to people you love

260 p. : col. ill. ; 21 cm.

Introduction. Life spoiler alert: bad things happen -- Part one. Laying some groundwork -- Put your own oxygen mask on first -- Standing in their shoes -- Part two. The three touchstones of showing up -- Your kindness is your credential -- Listening speaks volumes -- Small gestures make a big difference -- Part three. Just help me not be a disaster -- Please never say this (thanks!) -- Empathy directory: dos and don'ts cheat sheets -- You got this!

"The creator of Empathy Cards teams up with a compassion expert to produce an illustrated guide to help you increase your emotional intelligence and learn how to offer comfort and support when someone you know is in pain. When someone you know is hurting, you want to let her know that you care. But many people don't know what words to use--or are afraid of saying or doing the wrong thing. This thoughtful, instructive guide, from empathy expert Dr. Kelsey Crowe and greeting card maverick Emily McDowell, blends well-researched, actionable advice with the no-nonsense humor and the signature illustration style of McDowell, to help you feel confident in connecting with anyone experiencing grief, loss, illness, or any other difficult situation. A helpful illustrated guide to effective compassion that takes you, step by step by step, past the paralysis of thinking about someone in a difficult time to actually doing something (or nothing) with good judgment instead of fear. Features workbook exercises, sample dialogs, and real-life examples that give people tools for building relationships when it really counts. Whether it's a coworker whose mother has died, a neighbor whose husband has been in a car accident, or a friend who is seriously ill, this book teaches you how to be the best friend you can be to someone in need.
