Compassion

With the loss of my son, many people have shown me true compassion. It has even changed the way I view compassion. This is how the wonderful people in my life have shown me compassion: Ceasing judgement Offering hugs when appropriate Making sure needs are met Praise efforts to move forward Accept that grief is a lifelong process Speak gently Serve in unique ways Increase your check ins Offer to help in any way Never ceasing prayer

And you are taking accountof those things that you will surely share with other grievers. We comfort others with the comfort we receive. Another hug from me ~ Kim
