I've talked about this before, but I’m going to throw it out here one more time.
When someone is going through a tough time, we tend to ask, “What
can I do to help?”
Honestly, most people aren't going to tell you that they
need. I mean who wants to tell someone that their laundry is backed up. That
they don’t have the energy or time to play catch-up. A meal that still needs to
be made, or just a minute to themselves.
When I was going through chemo, I didn't need to ask for
help, because I was blessed with family and friends who just jumped in and
helped.
If you really want to know what you can do, just take the
garbage out. Pickup their kids for a play date. Drop off a flower, or mail them
a card to bring a little bit of sunshine into their day. But the most important
thing is NOT to ask . . . just do it!
