Support of loved onesBecome a reliable support for them at the right minute, help them find a way out of a crisis.
After all, support at the right time allows one to gain needed strength and move forward without getting stuck in the crisis and not falling into trauma.
At the same time, it is very important not to devalue or belittle the feelings of the person who is in front of you.
Do not start a dialogue with words like - "nothing terrible has happened, everything will be fine, but as for me / others ...", etc.
SAY THINGS LIKE:
- Let me come and be with you.
- I'm sorry about what happened. I'm here to help.
- It must be very hard what you are going through.
- I understand how difficult it is for you right now.
- I will always hear you out
- I'm here, and you can count on my support.
- I understand that you are worried. The situation is really difficult. And I am very sorry that this happened.
