Three Ways to help a Loved One Facing Illness or Challenge

One of the quickest ways to heal the body and mind is to honor yourself physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Three hints that will help you or someone you love feel supported:

1.Spend more time with people or animals you love. Surround yourself with things that are beautiful and that you love. Separate from any “energy vampires” or people that can’t or won’t support you. Your energy is precious, especially during healing or stress.

2.Please don’t tell a person you “understand” unless you have been through the very same thing. Instead, support by listening.

3.Make a list of five errands that need to be done. Offer to help your friend with specific tasks. Or offer to bring them a special treat like tea, a treat, favorite magazine, or stationery and stamps.
