Confirmation

One of the best things to do when someone is reeling Take time to acknowledge how they are feeling, Let them know you are confirming their hurt And doing your best to bring some comfort. written November 30, 2021

"Take time to acknowledge how they are feeling," I am teaching my students the joy of listening to each other; and the value listeners are to a friend.

Indeed. Many a tear can be wiped away with an acknowledgement of the hurt.

Sometimes people just need people. Just a presence can encourage a healing. Well written Milt. Your friend, Bill

I think so, Bill. Unfortunately in this day and time's chaos, it's often difficult to find a good listener.
