What are you reading these days?
Lately, I've experienced an influx of those in my sphere of influence who are getting some hard health news.
Cancer.
What a scary word.
Breast cancer
Liver cancer
Multiple Myeloma
Again. Scary words.
I came upon this book about a woman who was diagnosed and how her friends came alongside her during her battle. Such wise words inside.
Our first inclination when a friend gets some hard news is to want to fix it. But, before you go telling someone what they should do, stop and think for a moment.
This isn't your battle. It's theirs. They get to make ALL the decisions on how to proceed. Our job is to be a supportive friend.
We are privileged to walk with them and just listen.
It's about that old saying..we have two ears and one mouth. Wise wise words.
