Encouraging Reflections

“

The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing… not healing, not curing… that is a friend who cares.

— Henri Nouwen —


Honoring the rare, beautiful anchors of friendship this midday—those who don't try to fix or speed up your sorrow, but simply sit in it with you.
