Friend in Pain

Be her friend.... Listen... Ask if she needs something ... Pay attention to her body language.... Most of all listen... Don't pretend it's not real, it's very real to her, don't diminish it or her feelings in regards to pain, some days, you just try to take the next step and that's all you can concentrate on, the next step, the next breath .. the next moment, then the next one .. the one after .. I can relate, have learned to be grateful, pain means you're still alive !
