 Editor’s note: Have you ever had seemingly well-intentioned family and friends feel they are being kind by giving helpful "suggestions" at times of difficulty? On the receiving side, their helpful suggestions might not feel so helpful. When helping a friend or loved one during difficult times, sometimes the kindest act is just listening and giving them a quiet space to heal. And yet this can be much harder for our active society since we often feel like we must "do" something helpful, rather than just being a silent, loving, constant and patient presence. -Ameeta |
