Dear Friend,
Let me begin by saying thank you for
caring so much about your grieving friend to learn more about what he/she is going
through. Below are some subjects that you may find helpful. I have broken this
up into sections for easier reading. You may have noticed that I am calling you a
friend. You may be a family member of the grieving parent, but right now, during
this time in their lives, they need a good strong friend. They need a listener.
They need a supporter. Simply, they need you. If you are truly their
friend, stand by them no matter how bad it gets. This will not be easy for either of
you, so prepare yourself for a long and tiring journey.
Please know that I am always here to
help where I can. If you have a specific question or comment, you can e-mail me from
our home page. I will respond promptly. I check my e-mail daily so if you
don't hear back from me with in a couple of days I may not have received it. Also,
there are times when I am out of the office for a few days. If that is the case, you
will find those dates indicated on the first page of the healing section. I pray
that God is with you as you support your friend.
Sincerely,
Julie |
