What is support? |
|
Support is unconditional. It is listening… not judging, not telling your own story. Support is not offering advice… it is offering a handkerchief, a touch, a hug…caring. We are here to help woman discover what they are feeling… not to make the feelings go away. We are here to help a woman identify her options… not to tell her which options to choose. We are here to discuss steps with a woman… not to take the steps for her. We are here to help a woman discover her own strength… not to rescue her and leave her still vulnerable. We are here to help a woman discover she can help herself… not to take that responsibility for her. We are here to help a woman learn to choose… not to make it unnecessary for her to make difficult choices. - Anonymous |
