I bet I have said one of those things...It's hard to feel so helpless when someone you love is struggling. You've taught me that just listening and holding a safe space is enough... Thank-you! Melissa,

Thank-you for the gentle education. I bet I have said one of those things…It’s hard to feel so helpless when someone you love is struggling.

You’ve taught me that just listening and holding a safe space is enough…

Thank-you!

Friends that are in your circle deserve the real you, no matter what, this way they can be there for you. I have recently told my circle of friends that our little girl is donor-conceived. And it feels like a weight off my shoulders. Why hide it? If this is what takes to make our family, then they need to know. Then this gives them permission to share their 'stuff' too. nice article, it is amazing that going through such a private matter some of us tend to become secretive.

I know I need to work on this so much! On one hand I get so sick of hearing those kind of comments, but on the other hand, sometimes I don't know how to respond to them.
