The Comfort I Did Not Understand
Kristen writes something I believe a lot of people have come to understand: That their response to another person’s grief is very different after they have experienced a great grief of their own. “My hope and encouragement in these times of sadness for others is recognizing that while I did not understand how long and difficult the road of grief is for those walking through loss, I also did not understand the unique comfort of God in the midst of suffering. I used to believe and hope that the comfort of God meant the pain would go away or at the very least, the pain would lessen. I have learned, however, that the comfort of God is quite different than I hoped.”
Walking With a Friend Through Chronic Illness
Here are some very useful helps for walking with a friend through their chronic illness. “I have cared for the chronically ill for my entire career, and that has been my focus for the last few years. I have listened to their frustrations and goals. I have watched as they celebrated the victories and chronicled the setbacks. I don’t have all the answers, and I don’t always know the right thing to say. But I have learned many of things not to say, which is just as important when you’re supporting friends with chronic illness.”
