Supporting a Friend Through Illness
It can be hard to know how to support someone navigating an illness, especially if this is a new illness or the illness direction has changed for the worse.
It can be hard to know how to support someone navigating an illness, especially if this is a new illness or the illness direction has changed for the worse. As your friend is navigating this new territory, they are likely digesting information about the illness and learning about how it may impact their life in the short term, and potentially long term as well. You may have a friend who is able to readily articulate their needs, and for others, it will be hard for them to ask for help. In either case, what’s important is that they know you are there for them during this time.
