“What do friends do? They show up. They share the pain; and they shut up. They don’t give pious platitudes.They don’t give advice.They don’t try to talk a friend out of his pain.They don’t say, lit’s going to be OK.’ They just say, “we’re going to sit here with you. We’re going to be here for you. We’re going to hurt with you.’” ~ thank you, Pastor Rick Warren
