 | "When we honestly ask ourselves which persons 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 now knowing,
not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness,
that is a friend who cares." |  |
