listen

When you're diagnosed with cancer so many people around you ask what they can do. They desperately want to help any way they can.

To the caregivers, friends, and loved ones out there... one of the biggest gifts you can give to us is a listening ear. There's so many things going through our minds. It's nice to have an outlet just to let it out without someone trying to give their advice.

I can't explain how valuable it is to have a non-judgmental place to be raw with the ups and downs cancer brings. You don't know how healing it can be letting all the stuff that's inside us out. Be a safe place!

"My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak..." James 1:19
