It's one of the times we can make a real difference in someone else's life. <br /><br />But, oh! to remember to sleep, eat, to simply take care of one's basic needs when you're in the throes of that strange madness (so it seems from the outside). Hopefully having you there will help your friend pull through.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01679485132057382813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5494416304107404915.post-6752887434933402072009-07-01T05:30:34.892-06:002009-07-01T05:30:34.892-06:00Such a sweet and meaningful post.

How difficult it is at all times to offer consolation to others, as we can never truly know or understand how they feel. Sometimes just "being there" and offer to listen is enough.<br />I am sure she will pull through, the fact that she does look for support in others means she is on her way.<br />xoZuzanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02137958790178864561noreply@blogger.com
