“When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our
lives mean the most to us,
we often find that it is those who, instead of giving
advice, solutions, or cures,
have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our
wounds with a warm
and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us
in a moment of despair or confusion,
who can stay with us in an hour of grief and
bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing,
not curing, not healing and face with us the reality
of our powerlessness,
that is a friend who cares.”
