Your Go-to Guide for Helping Loved Ones through Life’s Difficulties When tragedy strikes someone you love, you will have to decide what kind of friend you will be: one who is there every step of the way or one who looks the other way. The tips and suggestions offered in this book are some of the most helpful you’ll find anywhere. That’s because the answers come from people who have actually gone through very difficult experiences. They have suffered the loss of children, spouses, parents, and siblings. They have been diagnosed with chronic and terminal illnesses. They have lost jobs, gotten divorced, or survived sudden changes in their lives due to accidents, crime, or natural disasters. If you really feel a calling to help someone in need but are at a loss for what to do, or you’re afraid that what you do or say might somehow be wrong-causing them to feel worse than what they’re already feeling-this book was written for you! After reading How Can I Help?, I knew exactly what to say to someone who unexpectedly lost her best friend after a seventy-year relationship.
