Where Friendship Really Counts

At one point or another, we will have a friend who is going through a difficult situation in life. It could be the loss of a loved one, missing out on a job opportunity or promotion, experiencing a breakup or divorce, relationship challenges or something else. It can be challenging because you aren’t sure the best approach to help them through these situations or how you can be supportive without being overbearing. I don’t think there is one solution (besides God) to how you can help a friend when they experience a difficulty in life but I do think the effort you put in and the actions you take can have a positive effect. It may not solve their problems, but it can do them some good as they work to overcome the situation they find themselves in.

April Release: Supporting a Friend in Need

If we aren't experiencing it now, we have probably already had a situation where someone close to us has lost someone precious in their lives. It can be very challenging trying to figure out how to best support them and show that you're there for them without being overbearing. Everyone manages loss differently. They desire various levels and types of comfort and reassurance. To be honest, there really isn't an official handbook on how to keep it together when someone you care about passes away, but one thing that can help for sure is allowing your friends to be there for you. And as the friend, your presence and check-ins can have a positive impact, even when it may not be expressed directly or seen immediately. So, how can you be there for a friend when they're in need? I'll be dropping the "unofficial" guide soon!
