“One of the most important things you can do on this earth is to let people know they are not alone.”
―Shannon L. Alder
How have you let someone in a position of vulnerability know that they weren’t alone?
One thought on “Reaching Out”
We have within the fold of our fellowship a woman who, not a member, has felt the need to rely on our help and compassion. She, diabetic, has lost one leg and now, another. She will have to learn to use both prostheses. I visited her in the hospital two days ago ” just because” I thought she needed someone to be there. It was true; even though a long time friend and her adult daughter were with her, and the physical therapists came and went, I stayed and took something special to her and we talked and did some chattering and laughing. It helped me and I believe, also relieved her.
