I, too, want to be that safe place. And you helped me so very much through our own grief!

I dont remember what most people even said to me. But they came, they helped, they held us up. Now I am continually in that awkward position with parents going through cancer and I dont know what to say. But I remember that people were there and they DID stuff for us without being asked. So that is what I try to do.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12481981892752988536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8403008452754671256.post-63240096780027152822015-03-16T08:24:16.453-05:002015-03-16T08:24:16.453-05:00This is absolutely the truth. And what really hurt...This is absolutely the truth. And what really hurts and adds to the confusion is when others are paralyzed into inaction and do nothing. I remember this, when I see someone else going through a hard time and I recall my own pain and the feeling of walking alone, how important it is to come alongside the suffering. Not teach and guide them from a distant point, but share in it with them.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10862253001383767918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8403008452754671256.post-88962242084798937362015-03-04T23:09:43.039-06:002015-03-04T23:09:43.039-06:00I've visited your blog often during the past c...I've visited your blog often during the past couple of years--I was thrilled to see a new post. And it was timely... I, too, have people close to me going through things that leave me confused in how to respond, feeling that anything said will be the wrong thing. Than you for the reminder that we get to be a small piece of help along the way and rely on God to bring them through...Annanoreply@blogger.com
