Supporting survivors
Have you ever felt that it’s hard to really know what to say or do whenever someone you care about is hurting? Many people will tell you that after a death of a loved one they are quickly inundated with people wanting to help, but within days, those that offered comfort have faded away.
Sexual Assault Awareness Month 2023
Every April recognizes Sexual Assault Awareness Month. This year’s theme promotes Drawing Connections stating that Prevention Demands Equity.
Emotional empathy
Most people need an outlet to unload all the messy things that happen in their lives, and usually that outlet is a close friend. Helping those close to you work through their life complications can feel rewarding; however, it is important to monitor your own emotions in order to maintain objectivity and protect your own mental health.
Fan your spark
I read this quote recently: “You often feel tired, not because you’ve done too much, but because you’ve done too little of what sparks a light in you” Alexander Den Heijer.
Let’s face it. Life, even on a good day, can be challenging.
Loss, lessons and overcoming
“All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.” – Helen Keller
