I heard news about a friend that is so heartbreaking, but their courage is amazing. I think about my own life and I realize that we all have challenges. It is how we react and ultimately respond to those challenges that makes us or breaks us. As I think about the physical and emotional challenges I face, none are as bad as they could be. I only wish I could do something to take that burden away from her. It is not my path, but I can be supportive. I can be an ear if she needs one. I can be a shoulder if she needs that too. As with all life challenges that is what we all need. To have someone to lean on. Someone we can trust not to judge or scoff at behind their back. If you are unable to cope with it don't be there and let that person down. Show support in any other way you can. That shows compassion more than being something you are not.
