Great Lives Workbook

Reflection: Showing Up for a Friend

Think about the different forms of support people need when life has become painful.

Which people have stayed present for you when you had little to offer in return?When someone you care about is grieving, what kind of help can you realistically provide?How can a friend tell when encouragement is needed and when listening is better?Who has the courage to tell you a hard truth with your well-being in mind?What practical need could you meet for someone without waiting to be asked?How can you build friendships that make room for honesty and mutual care?
