Supporting A Loved One 101

Supporting a loved one who is ill is a new and precious part of your relationship. As you embark on a road trip to wholeness, you will grow with that person.

Your love and kindness are the most precious gifts you can give them every day. You don’t have to have answers. You don’t have to make stupid jokes to lighten up the atmosphere. You don’t need to throw a temper tantrum and question God’s existence.

Ask what they would like to talk about. Ask if you can pray with them or read for them. Ask if it is okay to be quiet together. Give little choices back. Create patches of normality.

Your love and kindness are the most precious gifts you can give in a numbing time riddled with pain and fear. There is no regret in kindness and sharing your love in this painful season.
