“To live is to suffer, to survive is to find meaning in the suffering.” - Gordon Allport
It’s okay not to be okay. But sometimes that’s not the message we hear from those around us. It may not even be the message we tell ourselves. However, it is still the truth. It should be expected that we will fall apart. We all need to give ourselves and others the permission to feel and reprocess our pain.
How can we best support those we love during hard times? We share a few practical ways along with some not-so-helpful ways too. Regardless of our journey through suffering, as followers of Christ we should be aiming to find joy and an eternal perspective from our pain.
