I need friends who love us and care about us, especially when I am hurting. And usually this is not the time when I could say I am at our best. Tell i friends about what hurts I. Feel their comfort and love. Make sure they understand I may not want advice on how to resolve your issues. What I all need is a loving ear to listen to us with their heart. I need loving friends in our lives. Many people pay for a therapist to listen to them because they cannot tell their friends about their experiences. Take the risk and share these happenings and I feelings with close friends whom I can trust.
