Letting them know they're not alone and that you're there if they want to talk is a good way to go - even though it feels so uncomfortable and difficult.

Yet as you said, if you can be there, so they know they're not alone, well, that is huge.Malihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03928262526502319303noreply@blogger.com
