Today I successfully 'fudged' my Chem results :p I also had Beavers and had to deal with a sad beaver :( I am very, very tired!
Also, does anyone have any advice on helping a friend through grief? Or any useful poems/words/songs? My friend's Dad who died a month ago... I spoke to her in depth today and it's so hard. I could just really use some advice... thanks.
This is just gorgeous, I wish I had any words of comfort or wisdom to help you with your friend, it's not easy and I don't think anyone can ever really understand what a person is going through but it's wonderful that you are there for her and care so much. I'm sure that means a lot to her.
nice shot especially fitting for the mood. i think you did the best thing any person can in just being there for your friend. I think more important than saying the right thing to someone who is grieving, is just letting them know you are there to listen and talk. i'm sure she appreciates your talk with her today :)
This is just beautiful, love the simplistic beauty. I'm sorry that I cannot offer any advice for her. I have never had to deal with that kind of loss, so I cannot even begin to realize where she's at right now. I think that having you there to talk to might help, but she may also want to look online for some support sites. Maybe being anonymous and expressing her feelings might help.
this is beautiful Naomi.
I think everyone gave you good advice. I would say just be there for your friend and let this person take the time needed to heal. Listening is so important.
My Dad died 9 years ago. There's never a day I don't think of him. In the first year the grief felt all-consuming at times. It never goes away, but it gets softer, somehow, easier to bare. Couple of quotes I've read over the years that I look to when I'm blue:
“I've been trying to find the word that says what I need to be in life. 'Brave' is the only word. It's the only thing that I ask myself to be.”
"If there ever comes a day when we can't be together keep me in your heart, I'll stay there forever” ~Winnie the Pooh
Having a caring friend might just be exactly what your friend needs! :)
awesome shot Naomi. I think the best you can do for you're friend is to be there when she needs you, just being there for her and support her is the best you can do.
Just so you know, nothing you say is right or wrong, just being there, to hold a hand, to give her a tissue, to let her know it's ok to smile etc is probably all she needs. Let her talk, she probably doesn't want answers, just for someone to listen. Let her know that her head will be a jumbled mess and that none of her thoughts are right or wrong, anything goes, even the saddest loneliest inappropriate things are all OK to say and they need to be said! Grief counselling is a must, It helps you come to terms with the fact that you couldn't and can't change things. Hope this helps.
