How to lovingly support someone who is experiencing Hopelessness and Depression

‘Dare to reach out your hand into the darkness, to pull another hand into the light.’  ~Norman B. Rice

If you have a friend or loved one who is experiencing hopelessness or depression, it can be difficult to know exactly what to say or do. While there isn’t any one magic thing to say that will alleviate their pain, there are many ways to offer support.

The end of a delicious feast is often marked by an after dinner sweet dessert. Dessert time not only provides perfect closure to a memorable meal, but also assists digestion, aids assimilation, and creates space for good conversation.

As this year comes to an end, what will you be thinking about? What will you be reflecting on? Will you be thinking about what you ‘did’ and relishing the dessert or what you ‘didnt’ accomplish and ending the year on a sour note?
