From the Publisher

I want to help, but I don't know how. If you've ever been close to someone who's hurting, you know the feeling. What do you say? What don't you say? This small, practical book offers guidance for helping and encouraging a friend or loved one in a time of pain. It's also for the hurting, framing their experiences in words they can relate to. Drawn from a variety of sources, each short perspective showcases a different way to stand by the hurting, pairing one brief, insightful writing with an inspirational quote or a verse of Scripture. This jewel-like book makes a wise companion for people who care--and for those who, in the midst of their pain, will appreciate the quick doses of comfort this book is full of.
