Supporting Someone Through a Difficult Time
When someone is sick, sad, or facing a difficult time, they may turn down help or say they’re fine even when they would appreciate company. Don’t assume a refusal means they want to be left alone.
- Be present: Consider visiting rather than relying only on “Should I come?” or “Can I do anything?”
- Keep it simple: Don’t expect a conversation or feel pressure to find the perfect words.
- Offer warm, nonverbal support: Smile, be kind, and, when appropriate, hold their hand.
- Speak with care: Use a loving, gentle, cheerful, and reassuring tone.
- Offer companionship and joy: Your presence alone can help someone feel supported.
