People need a little help sometimes…

I think this has got to be one of the best articles I have read in a long time.

It is so hard for people to know how to help you when you face challenging times. People really want to help and often feel so helpless - wondering if what they want to do will be helpful, will it be well received or considered as interfering? I know you probably have enough going on but it’s really important that you help them to help you by finding a way to communicate what it is that you REALLY need. It’s a gift to them and a gift to yourself.
